On January 2, the People's Committee of Dong Nai province worked on the proposal for an elevated road project along National Highway 51 from Vung Tau intersection to Gate 11 (Bien Hoa City).
According to the proposal of Ho Chi Minh City Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock Company, the elevated road project running along National Highway 51 from Vung Tau intersection to Gate 11 includes 3 items: Completing the construction of the Vung Tau intersection; Building a direct overpass on National Highway 1, Bien Hoa City bypass section and building an elevated road along National Highway 51.
The project is invested in the form of public-private partnership (PPP) with a total investment of more than 12,800 billion VND.
In particular, the elevated road construction project along National Highway 51 is about 5.5 km long. The starting point of the route is at the Vung Tau intersection and the end point is at the Gate 11 intersection. The elevated road is built according to urban main road standards, with a design speed of 80 km/h and a scale of 6 lanes.
Concluding the meeting, Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc said that the investment to complete the two intersections of Vung Tau and Gate 11 is very necessary and urgent. Currently, the traffic volume on National Highway 51 is very large, causing frequent traffic jams.
In 2026, when the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway is put into operation, the traffic volume at these two intersections will be even greater.
Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc assigned the Department of Transport to arrange a working schedule between Dong Nai Provincial leaders and the Ministry of Transport to resolve legal difficulties and problems.
The Department of Construction coordinated with the Department of Transport and Bien Hoa City to update the scale of the two intersections of Vung Tau and Gate 11 into the planning.
In which, the Gate 11 intersection is updated according to the scale of the completion phase. Bien Hoa City updates the general planning project of the elevated route along National Highway 51.
Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc also requested the project proposal unit to coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to review and recalculate the cost of site clearance for the project.
