Vingroup Simultaneously Launches Three Major Road and Sea Infrastructure Projects in Ho Chi Minh City
HO CHI MINH CITY - On July 1, 2026, Vingroup and its member companies within the ecosystem officially commenced three major transportation infrastructure projects aimed at connecting key economic zones in Southern Vietnam. This initiative marks a significant boost for urban and regional infrastructure development in Ho Chi Minh City for the coming period.
Details of Three Key Infrastructure Projects
Vingroup has initiated three transportation projects combining road and sea infrastructure with total investment amounting to tens of thousands of billion Vietnamese Dong, including:
1. Sea-Crossing Road Project Connecting Can Gio - Vung Tau
The sea-crossing road project connecting Can Gio District (Ho Chi Minh City) with Vung Tau City (Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province) will have a total length of approximately 50km, with about 20km being the over-sea portion. The structure will combine bridges and tunnels, reducing travel time between the two locations to approximately 30-45 minutes, compared to the current 2-3 hours.
This project is expected to become one of the vital transportation axes in Southern Vietnam's key economic zone, directly connecting the new Can Gio urban area with the Vung Tau Economic Zone, promoting tourism, services, and port industry development.
2. Interchange Connecting Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway and Rung Sac - Can Gio Road
This key interchange will be constructed at the intersection of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway and the Rung Sac - Can Gio Road. With a large-scale design, the interchange will feature four levels, including main traffic lanes, service lanes, and modern overpasses and underpasses.
The interchange design optimizes traffic flow, reduces congestion, and ensures traffic safety for vehicles traveling between key economic zones.
3. Interchange Connecting Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway with National Highway 50
The third interchange will be built at the intersection of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway and National Highway 50. The project will have a similar scale to the second interchange, designed with clearly classified traffic lanes, intelligent traffic information systems, and modern auxiliary facilities.
This interchange plays a crucial role in connecting the expressway with provincial and national highway systems, creating a comprehensive transportation network that promotes socio-economic development along the route.
Significance and Impact of the Projects
The simultaneous implementation of three key infrastructure projects marks a new development in Vingroup's transportation infrastructure strategy and significantly contributes to the overall infrastructure development plan for Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.
| Socio-Economic Impact of the Projects | |
|---|---|
| Sector | Expected Impact |
| Transportation | Reduced traffic congestion, shortened travel time, improved transportation efficiency |
| Economy | Promotion of industry, tourism, services, and real estate development |
| Environment | Reduced greenhouse gas emissions through decreased travel time and optimized traffic flow |
| Security-Defense | Enhanced connectivity capabilities for mobilizing forces and protecting regional security |
Implementation Schedule and Expected Completion
According to the plan, the three projects will be implemented simultaneously with the following schedule:
- Phase 1 (2026-2027): Completion of land acquisition, detailed design, and commencement of main construction works
- Phase 2 (2027-2028): Focus on constructing main structures such as bridges, tunnels, and interchanges
- Phase 3 (2028-2029): Completion of auxiliary works, installation of lighting and intelligent traffic systems, and commissioning for operation
The total investment for the three projects is estimated at approximately 50,000 billion Vietnamese Dong, to be sourced from Vingroup's capital and strategic partners. Construction supervision will be carried out by reputable domestic and international consulting firms.
Conclusion
Vingroup's simultaneous implementation of three key infrastructure projects in Ho Chi Minh City not only represents a significant step in the corporation's development strategy but also makes a practical contribution to the city's and Southern Vietnam's key economic zone transportation infrastructure. These projects will create a modern, intelligent transportation network connecting key economic zones, promoting socio-economic development and improving residents' quality of life.
The commencement of these projects also affirms Vingroup's commitment to contributing to Vietnam's sustainable development, particularly in transportation infrastructure - one of the important pillars for economic development.
This is considered one of the largest private infrastructure projects in Vietnam in recent years, opening new directions for public-private partnership in transportation infrastructure development.
