Dang Thuy Tram Street (Binh Thanh District) is about 1.2km long, with an elevation 1.1m to 1.3m lower than Nguyen Xi Street, so it is often flooded when it rains or when the tide rises, causing difficulties for people participating in traffic, especially for pedestrians.
The project to renovate and upgrade Dang Thuy Tram Street (from Luong Ngoc Quyen Street to Vam Thuat River) has just been approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council with a budget of more than 93 billion VND.
The road surface will be raised with asphalt concrete, approximately 1.2km long and 30m wide according to the approved plan. The project also includes upgrading the drainage system, sidewalks, planting trees, installing lighting and a synchronized traffic signal system.
The project is invested by the Binh Thanh District Construction Investment Project Management Board, with implementation period from 2024 to 2027.
When completed, the project will help solve flooding problems, connect traffic smoothly with the extended Nguyen Xi road (completed and put into use since 2023) and other important routes such as Pham Van Dong, Luong Ngoc Quyen and No Trang Long.
The project also contributes to improving the quality of life for people, urban beautification and promoting socio-economic development of Binh Thanh district.
In addition to the Dang Thuy Tram Street upgrade project, Binh Thanh District is also implementing the Chu Van An Street expansion project.
Accordingly, the approximately 600m long road from Binh Hoa intersection to Phan Chu Trinh street will be widened from the current 5-6m to 23m, with a total investment of approximately VND1,067 billion.
The project is expected to start construction at the end of this year and be completed in 2026. When completed, the project will help solve the "bottleneck" situation that has caused traffic congestion for many years in this area, while creating favorable conditions for people to do business and trade.
