On July 10, a representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction said that the City People's Committee has assigned the Department to coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (Traffic Board) to organize the preparation of documents to adjust the investment policy for three overpass projects at major intersections that are organizing equal traffic (roundabouts, traffic lights).
These are all areas with high traffic volume and frequent traffic conflicts. The construction of the overpass aims to reduce intersections, help separate traffic flows, increase traffic efficiency and reduce congestion.
At the Dien Bien Phu Intersection, the project will build a steel overpass in the direction of Ly Thai To Street, combined with branches along Le Hong Phong Street. The total estimated investment is about 420 billion VND.
At the Bon Xa Intersection, an elipse central island will be invested in, combined with a 4-lane overpass on the Hoa Binh - Le Van Quoi road axis. The total estimated investment is up to 2,464 billion VND.
At the Nguyen Tri Phuong - Ngo Gia Tu intersection, the Traffic Department is currently studying overpass design options with the goal of solving traffic congestion in this area but at the same time, limiting the impact on neighboring intersections. The specific total investment will be determined after completing the design and selecting the optimal option.
According to the plan, the investment policy proposal documents will be completed and submitted to the competent authority for approval in the fourth quarter of 2025.
If approved, the projects will carry out site clearance and start construction in the second or third quarter of 2027, completing within 12 - 15 months.
