The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just sent a document to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for comments on naming streets, public works and adjusting the routes of some streets in Ho Chi Minh City.
National Highway 1 is more than 44 km long through Ho Chi Minh City, divided into 3 sections with new names:
- The section from Thu Duc intersection (old Tram Hai intersection) to An Suong intersection (21 km) is expected to be named Do Muoi.
- The section from An Suong intersection to An Lac (14 km) is expected to be named Le Duc Anh.
- The section from An Lac to the border of Long An province (9.4 km) is proposed to be named Le Kha Phieu.
National Highway 22: The section from the National Highway 1 intersection to An Ha bridge (10 km) is named Le Quang Dao. The section from An Ha bridge to the Tay Ninh provincial border (20 km) is named Phan Van Khai.

National Highway 1K: The 1.8 km long section from the National Highway 1 intersection to the Binh Duong provincial border is named Hoang Cam.
These national highways are all vital traffic routes, connecting Ho Chi Minh City with neighboring provinces and playing an important role at the gateway to the city.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the new name is to honor the leaders of the Party, State, and commanders of the Ho Chi Minh campaign, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).
