Project name                         : Ho Chi Minh City Third Ring Road Construction Project, Project Component No.7:  Long An Province Section

Project Owner                     : Traffic Works Construction and Investment Project Management Unit of Long An Province

Funding source                     : State budget

Project location                    : Long An Province, Vietnam

Description of the Project:

The total length of Ho Chi Minh City Third Ring Road Project (RR3) is 76.34 km, divided into 08 component projects passing through 04 provinces and city including Dong Nai (11.26km), Binh Duong (11.43km),  Ho Chi Minh city (47.11km), and Long An (6.54km). A six to eight lanes of expressway is designed with a design speed of 100Km/h. A four-lane expressway with a design speed of 100Km/h will be built in the first stage.

The Ho Chi Minh CIty Third Ring Road (RR3) Project aims to facilitate diverting through-traffic and reducing traffic congestion in the center of HCMC. Through construction of RR3, the connectivity of cities and towns surrounding HCMC, Mekong Delta Region and the Eastern Region will also be improved, transport costs and travel times for the movement of passengers and goods in and around HCMC will be reduced.
