The elevated stretch of Vietnam’s HCMC Ring Road 3 project in Thu Duc City should be complete by April 2026. This will be two months earlier than originally anticipated. 

So far the 10 construction works being carried out in HCMC are around 500% complete. The final stretches for Binh Chanh District, Hoc Mon District, and Cu Chi District should be complete by June 2026.

Work for the HCMC Ring Road 3 segment in Nhon Trach District is over 20% ready for package 32, 30% finished for package 29 and over 20% complete for package 26.

Key bridge projects in Vietnam will further boost connectivity. The $313 million Dai Ngai Bridge project will cut the distance between the Ca Mau peninsula and Ho Chi Minh City. The $266 million Rach Mieu 2 Bridge project is ahead of schedule and will help reduce traffic delays on Highway 60 once the remaining 20% of the project is complete. Other important bridge projects include three bridges for Hanoi, the Thuan An Estuary Bridge in Vietnam’s Central region and new road works for Da Nang City.
