HCM CITY - The Prime Minister expects to approve the investment policy of the HCM City - Mộc Bài expressway project this week, allowing the city to start the project before April 30, 2025, and complete it by the end of 2027.

Phan Văn Mãi, chairman of the municipal People’s Committee said the new expressway was expected to reduce traffic pressure on National Highway No. 22 and contribute to the economic and social development of the city, Tây Ninh Province, and neighboring countries as well as shorten the travel time of passenger and freight transport between the southeastern region and Cambodia via Mộc Bài International Border Gate.

After the Prime Minister approves the investment policy, HCM City would urgently carry out tasks such as site clearance, investor selection, and other preparatory work to ensure the project could start construction before April 30 next year.

The construction project of the HCM City – Mộc Bài expressway in the form of PPP has a total length of around 50 kilometers in the first phase.

The expressway will start from Ring Road 3, Củ Chi District, span over the Vàm Cỏ River and link up to Mộc Bài International Border Gate in Tây Ninh Province’s Bến Cầu District. VNS
