The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued a document on investing in the construction of the Go Cong Intersection and the branch connecting Hanoi Highway to this intersection. Previously, on August 28, 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council approved the project investment policy.
The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned the Department of Finance to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments and units to urgently complete the preparation and appraisal of feasibility study reports for component projects, and submit them to competent authorities for investment decision.
The city will prioritize allocating enough budget capital for implementation, ensuring the right progress of the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021 - 2025 and 2026 - 2030.
The functional units will organize surveys, develop compensation, support and resettlement plans, and hand over the site to the investor according to schedule.
The city requires compensation and support policies to be reasonable and satisfactory, and at the same time, study and conduct sociological surveys when developing resettlement plans. Priority is given to resettlement for eligible households and those who are not eligible but have a need.
The project includes a route about 5.9 km long and Go Cong intersection.
The route connecting Tram 2 intersection (located on Hanoi Highway) to Go Cong intersection (intersection between Ring Road 3 and Nguyen Xien Street) is designed with two parallel routes, a total of 6 lanes (each side has 3 lanes), divided into three sections.
Section 1 from Tram 2 intersection to Le Van Viet street, 107 m wide; Section 2 from Le Van Viet street to Go Cong bridge, 107 m wide; Section 3 from Go Cong bridge to Go Cong intersection, 120 m wide.
Go Cong intersection is designed as a level cross-section, 4 floors, combined with a roundabout, with branches N1, N2, N3, N4 (each branch has 2 lanes). At the same time, the project invests in an additional 4-lane overpass on Ring Road 3. The underpass on the branch connecting Hanoi Highway to Long Phuoc connecting to Dong Nai 2 Bridge will be invested in the next phase.
In addition, the project will build an overpass at the intersection of Le Van Viet Street and D1 Street (each location has 2 units, each unit has 3 lanes); Go Cong Canal Overpass (2 units, each unit has 3 lanes); Trau Trau Canal Overpass consists of 4 units (2 units have 3 lanes and 2 units have 4 lanes).
The total investment capital of the project is more than VND 12,400 billion from the Ho Chi Minh City budget, divided into two component projects.
Component project 1: Compensation, support, and resettlement with a budget of about VND 7,111 billion. The project needs to reclaim land from 458 households, of which 218 households have been cleared and 240 households have been partially cleared.
Component project 2: Complete investment in Go Cong intersection and branch connecting Hanoi - Go Cong Highway, with a cost of about 5,329 billion VND.
According to the plan, compensation and site clearance will take place from the fourth quarter of 2025 to the fourth quarter of 2026. The project is expected to start construction in the first quarter of 2027 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028.
When put into operation, the project will directly connect Ring Road 3 with Ring Road 2, improve the efficiency of exploiting the transport infrastructure in the East, while relieving bottlenecks and reducing increasing traffic pressure at the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City.
