A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (the investor) said that the parallel route to National Highway 50 has reached more than 75% of the volume, but the risk of missing the traffic opening date at the end of December is very high if the land is not handed over soon. "We plan to open the completed sections first to serve the people, while waiting for the handover of the remaining locations" - said the investor representative.

Doan mo rong Quoc lo 50 hien huu da dat khoang 19% khoi luong, du kien hoan thanh nam 2025.

The existing National Highway 50 expansion section has reached about 20% of the volume, expected to be completed in 2025.

To ensure progress, the investor has requested the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to direct relevant departments and branches to promptly resolve compensation policies to promptly hand over the site.

The National Highway 50 expansion project, once completed, will increase traffic and economic connectivity between Ho Chi Minh City, Long An and the Western provinces. The project also links other key routes such as Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, Ring Road 3 (under construction); Nguyen Van Linh Avenue... helping to complete the southern traffic network of the city.
