Located in Binh Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, the 660m long Lien Phuong road (including the bridge over Muong Kinh canal and the access road to Rach Chiec National Sports Complex) is ready, expected to open to traffic on November 8.
According to records, a series of items such as asphalt paving, paint lines, railings, lighting systems, tiled sidewalks, tree planting and stairs... are in the final stages of completion.
One of the highlights of Lien Phuong Street is the section through the international urban area of "capital" The Global City - Masterise Homes' iconic urban area project. In 2024 alone, The Global City welcomed more than 3 million visitors to convenient experiences and a series of large-scale events - festivals, while the SOHO area has quickly attracted residents to live with hundreds of vibrant F&B brands, education, services and entertainment activities.
Here, the road section through this urban area is 100% complete, creating an international standard urban landscape. In addition, the entrances connecting to Mai Chi Tho and Vo Nguyen Giap Boulevards (An Phu Ward) are ready to use.
With a design capital of 6 lanes according to standards, a design speed of 60 km/h, and a single axle load of 10 tons, located in a prime location at the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, Lien Phuong Street is expected to completely "reduc the heat" to the stressful traffic situation in the area - which was once considered a "feeder" of traffic congestion every day.
Accordingly, the route is considered a strategic traffic artery, reshaping the entire traffic network of the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, contributing to solving long-term congestion - especially at the An Phu intersection. Specifically, this road section will reduce traffic, significantly reducing traffic volume for the An Phu intersection by creating a smooth connection corridor from the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway through the Vo Chi Cong - Do Xuan Hop - Vo Nguyen Giap axes - Cat Lai intersection, helping container trucks and heavy trucks no longer have to gather at one point.
In fact, An Phu intersection is considered the most crowded traffic jam in Ho Chi Minh City. The stressful traffic jams occur continuously at many times of the day. Sometimes thousands of container trucks, trucks, motorbikes and cars line up for 2-3km each way, the prolonged waiting time for red lights makes traffic more stressful. This situation makes Ho Chi Minh City residents "feel frustrated" every time they have to go sideways - many people choose to take a longer detour to avoid it.
In addition, the project also shortens the distance of about 4km from Cat Lai intersection to Lien Phuong - Do Xuan Hop intersection, helping people move more safely, 10-15 minutes faster per trip, avoiding the expressway that is crowded with trucks and containers - where a series of accidents due to congestion have occurred. The route also directly connects to Rach Chiec National Sports Complex, which is expected to be reinvested, becoming a center for organizing sports events, fairs, and exhibitions every year.
Lien Phuong Road is also in perfect sync with major projects: Do Xuan Hop expansion (worth 870 billion VND, expected to be completed in 2025), Ring Road 3 super project (partly opened to traffic by the end of 2025), Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway. Through the Do, it will create a modern inter-regional transport network, reduce travel time to the city center, beautify the urban area and promote socio-economic development in the East.
In particular, the project is an important "golden lever" to promote real estate value in the East, thanks to improved connectivity and commercial potential. When opened to traffic, the traffic volume and vehicles increase, leading to sustainable added value.
Many existing and new projects in the area, including The Global City international standard urban complex (Masterise Homes), safira Khang Dien, Verosa, Sky 9, The Eastern, Dong Tang Long... where hundreds of blocks of townhouses, villas, apartments have been taking shape, creating a modern urban appearance, attracting tens of thousands of upper-class residents and international investors.
Seizing this opportunity, real estate "big guys" will certainly take the lead in infrastructure, quickly deploy many projects along the route to take advantage of new connections. This will make this place even more vibrant and attractive right in Thu Duc City (old), which was planned by the Prime Minister and the Ho Chi Minh City government to become a center for innovation, knowledge economy and a financial - technological center of the Southeast region in the future.
