HCMC – The Ministry of Industry and Trade is reviewing National Power Development Plan VIII with a focus on fast-tracking urgent baseload power projects in northern Vietnam and incorporating electricity demand from next-generation transport infrastructure.
HCMC – Construction of Long Thanh International Airport's Component 3 has reached nearly 76% of the value of signed contracts, with more than 7,300 workers deployed under a 180-day acceleration campaign, according to the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV).
HCMC - Five metro lines linking Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi Railway Station and major urban areas in Hanoi, got off the ground on June 22 and are scheduled to be completed by 2030.
HCMC – HCMC held inauguration ceremonies this morning, 26 April, for its two key traffic projects: a road parallel to Vo Van Kiet Boulevard in District 1 and Dang Thuc Vinh Street in the outlying district of Hoc Mon.
The upgrade of Dang Thuc Vinh Street, also known as Provincial Road No.9, cost around VND700 billion. The 5.3-kilometer road was widened from seven to 30 meters.
The road links HCMC’s outlying districts of Cu Chi and Hoc Mon with the neighboring provinces of Binh Duong and Long An. The road upgrade took four years to complete due to obstacles linked to site clearance and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Regarding the road project parallel to Vo Van Kiet Boulevard, it required over VND70 billion in investment. It is a small-scale project but has a significant meaning, said Tran Quang Lam, director of the HCMC Transport Department.

The route will help ease traffic congestion around the intersection of Ky Con and Vo Van Kiet streets. Further, it will help pave the way for the launch of a bus rapid transit route and a waterbus route in the area, the official added.
The parallel route measures 615 meters long and is seven meters wide. It starts at Nguyen Thai Hoc Street and ends at Pasteur Street.
