In phase 1, Long Thanh airport is expected to receive 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of goods/year, of which about 70-85% are international flights and mainly go/to Ho Chi Minh City.
The landfare of Long Thanh airport has approached, but the routes connected from Ho Chi Minh City to the airport are still unfinished.
The main route is the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh highway, but this highway often has traffic jams both directions. There are times when the highway, such as parking lots, and died of hard -working vehicles. The traffic police must regulate by closing the road to the highway, directing the vehicle to follow other roads.
Conclusion because the amount of traffic on Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh highway is too much, but there is another cause, which is an accident or unusual incident such as a motorbike, a car burned.
On the highway, just a accident, the traffic was chaotic, the car was congested, it was not until the traffic police handled the scene of the accident that the vehicle will circulate normally.
Traffic congestion stretches for kilometers and many hours causing "victims" to be miserable because of their late work. In the near future, when Long Thanh airport put into operation, passengers from Ho Chi Minh City have more worries about traffic jams when traveling from home to the airport.
Going from the center to Tan Son Nhat airport, if a traffic congestion occurs, passengers can get off a taxi to take a motorbike taxi, even walk. Also going to Long Thanh airport, traffic jam on the highway is not.
The transportation industry and local authorities have had a traffic plan to go/to Long Thanh airport by two methods: road and railway, including 5 roads and 3 railways.
3 railway lines are in the starting stage or submit to the project, it is not known when to form a form.
As for the roads, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau highway, Ring Road 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway (3 projects are being implemented, expected to be completed in 2025-2026). If the destination is on time, these routes contribute to solving the amount of vehicles and to Long Thanh airport.
But the important artery is Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh highway, currently operating 4 lanes of highways, expected to expand to 8-10 lanes. The expansion construction is being implemented, but completed in time to synchronize with Long Thanh airport or not is not sure.
Also, the "bottle -neck" button in Long Thanh often occurs congestion, requiring solutions to organize the appropriate and convenient traffic when Long Thanh airport officially operates.
