The Government of Vietnam has announced plans that the construction works of the upcoming HCMC-Moc Bai expressway will be completed in 2027. The expressway will span 51 km and is projected to ease traffic congestion on National Highway 22, which currently handles the bulk of traffic between Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and Tay Ninh, a province bordering Cambodia.
The expressway costs USD788 million and will enhance connectivity between HCMC and Cambodia. The project is funded by a combination of state capital and private investment, with investors expecting to recoup their investment within approximately 15 years before transferring the expressway to public authorities.
The project will feature four normal lanes and two emergency lanes during Phase 1, with plans to expand to six lanes following land clearance. The expressway will include five major intersections, notably one in HCMC’s Cu Chi District, which will feature overpasses and tunnels for improved traffic flow. Additionally, a railway line will run through certain intersections, further boosting transportation options.
