Expanding National Highway 22
National Highway 22 is one of five key projects to upgrade and expand existing roads under the BOT model, implemented by Ho Chi Minh City thanks to the special mechanism from Resolution 98.
According to the initial pre-feasibility study report, the 8.7 km long section of National Highway 22, starting at An Suong intersection (District 12) and ending at Ring Road 3 (Hoc Mon district), will be expanded to 60 m with 10 lanes, and overpasses will be built at the intersections.
The total investment capital of the project is about 8,400 billion VND, of which site clearance costs account for about 5,269 billion VND.
The entire project is expected to occupy about 56.7 hectares of land, including residential land, rice land, other agricultural land, perennial crop land, forestry land and other land. Accordingly, 1,593 households will be affected by the site clearance.
In District 12, 120 households were partially cleared. Meanwhile, in Hoc Mon district, 1,162 households were partially cleared and 311 households were completely cleared, requiring resettlement.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, the pre-feasibility study report of the projects will be completed in early 2025. After that, the city will select investors for implementation, expected from 2025 to 2028.
