HCMC - After 2 years of construction, the overpass connecting terminal T3 is basically completed. After the opening, it will help reduce congestion and improve traffic in the Tan Son Nhat airport area.

After two years of construction, the overpass in front of Tan Son Nhat airport's T3 terminal is almost completed and ready to go into operation. This project is an important part of the Tran Quoc Hoan - Cong Hoa connecting road project, expected to officially open to traffic in April, creating a new look for the traffic infrastructure of the airport area.

The Tran Quoc Hoan - Cong Hoa connecting road project is about 4 km long with a total investment of more than VND 4,800 billion, including many items such as branch road, overpass and underpass.This route starts from the Tran Quoc Hoan - Phan Thuc Duyen intersection and extends to the C12 - Cong Hoa - Truong Chinh intersection, forming a vital traffic axis connecting the inner city area with the airport.When officially put into operation, the route will contribute to solving serious congestion at airport gateways, helping people move more conveniently.

The overpass is 988 m long, designed modernly, starting from the Tran Quoc Hoan - Cong Hoa connecting route, crossing 18E road and ending at Hoang Hoa Tham intersection.The highlight of the project is a separate branch leading directly to Terminal T3, helping vehicles to circulate quickly, limiting the congestion of vehicles during rush hour.
