VinSpeed to start work on key Ben Thanh–Can Gio railway components on October 30

The works scheduled to begin include the railway line, with tunnels and elevated sections, Ben Thanh and Can Gio stations, a depot, a transport operations control center, and railway systems for power supply, communications, signaling and fare collection, VinSpeed said.

The line will start in the area around Ben Thanh Market in Ben Thanh Ward and end at a 39-hectare site adjoining the Can Gio coastal-reclamation tourism urban area in Can Gio Commune.

It will pass through Ben Thanh, Khanh Hoi, Xom Chieu, Tan Thuan and Tan My wards, as well as Nha Be, Binh Khanh, An Thoi Dong and Can Gio communes.

The project will span about 54 kilometers and use double tracks, the standard 1,435-mm gauge and an electrified system, according to the design.

An underground section about 3.3 kilometers long will run from Ben Thanh Station (Km 0+000) to around Km 3+173, while the remaining section, from around Km 3+173 to the terminus, will run on viaducts.

Phase one will include Ben Thanh and Can Gio stations, a depot and an operations control center (OCC).

Can Gio Station, the depot and the OCC will be located in Can Gio Commune.

The company aims to complete the project in December 2029.

VinSpeed also announced the main contractors and the construction supervisor for the project.

The construction consortium comprises SGC Investment and Construction JSC, its lead member, and Vinhomes JSC, while Consultant and Inspection Joint Stock Company of Construction Technology and Equipment (CONINCO) will supervise construction.
