According to Lao Dong Newspaper, in the first days of August, at the "big construction site" of Tan Van, a series of machines and workers worked continuously to ensure progress. This is one of the most complicated items on the entire Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3.
A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board said that the section of Ring Road 3 passing through the old Binh Duong province is 26.6 km long, including 4 construction packages and is expected to be technically open to traffic by the end of 2025. Up to now, the entire project has reached 42.42% of the volume, 8.55% behind schedule. Tan Van intersection alone (under the XL1 package) has only completed about 23.7% of the work volume.
Currently, the construction units have completed the bridge abutments and many main items. At the same time, it is implementing mass pile drilling for many bridge piers such as P11-P14 (N3.2 branch), P38 piers, A2 piers P16, P18, P19, P34, P35 of the main overpass; as well as the canal overpass items at Km 26+790 and Km 27+740 of the same parallel road.
Tan Van intersection belongs to component project 5 of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, with a total length of more than 2.5 km (from Km25+990 to Km28+383), started in April 2024 and expected to be completed in December 2026. The project is undertaken by a consortium of 7 contractors, with a total package value of nearly 2,000 billion VND.
This package affects 532 households and organizations, with a total land area recovered of over 17.76 hectares. Regarding resettlement work, the authorities have approved 4 rounds, of which 221 cases have completed the draw for land selection.
Tan Van intersection plays a particularly important role in the transportation system in the East of Ho Chi Minh City, when adjacent to 6 major routes including: Hanoi Highway (QL1A), Metro Line 1, Ring Road 3, DT.743A (sections 3 and 4) and Nguyen Xien Street. At the same time, the project also directly connects with Dong Nai bridge - a key inter-provincial traffic route.
When completed, Tan Van intersection will contribute to reducing traffic pressure on existing routes, while promoting socio-economic development, strengthening regional connectivity between Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast provinces.
