Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City have initiated an 8.6 km elevated roadway project aimed at improving connectivity in the city’s southern gateway in Vietnam. The project, estimated at approximately USD390 million, will upgrade the Nguyen Huu Tho Road corridor, linking Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard to the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway. The elevated viaduct will feature four lanes designed for speeds of up to 80 km/hr and will be developed under a Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) model combining public and private investment.
The scheme will include high-capacity elevated lanes for through traffic, with local service roads operating beneath the structure to support urban access. The alignment will enhance connectivity to Hiep Phuoc Port and integrate with access routes serving the upcoming Long Thanh International Airport. Public authorities are responsible for land acquisition and utility relocation, while the private investor will undertake construction and subsequent operation.
