Hanoi (VNA) –The Ministry of Transport has received the proposal to approve a project onexpanding Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway which will be partlyfunded with loans from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The project is set to workon about 23.76km of the expressway, which will have eight lanes and designspeed of 100 - 120km per hour after expansion. In particular, Song Tac and LongThanh bridges, part of the expressway, will respectively have 10 and nine lanes.

The section proposed tobe expanded starts at the site after the An Phu intersection in Thu Duc city ofHCM City and ends at the planned intersection with Bien Hoa - Vung TauExpressway in Long Thanh district of Dong Nai province.

The expansion project willneed investment of almost 12.97 trillion VND (566.8 million USD), consisting ofnearly 10.22 trillion VND in official development assistance (ODA) loan fromJICA and 2.75 trillion VND from the Vietnamese Government, according to theproposal submitted by the My Thuan project management board.

It is scheduled to be implementedin five years, from 2021 to 2025, after the borrowing agreement takes effect.

The Transport Ministry said HCM City - Long Thanh - Dau GiayExpressway, opened to traffic in 2015, has become overloaded, especially in bigholidays. The road’s existing capacity is unable to meet the transport demandat present and in the future. Given this, it needs tobe expanded early so as to meet the transport demand, particularly when LongThanh International Airport in Dong Nai province becomes operational, in thesouthern key economic region./.
