In addition, the province also has recommendations and proposals for site clearance to implement the project.
Route direction in accordance with planning
In mid-2024, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) sent a document requesting Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai and related units to provide comments on the Pre-Feasibility Study Report of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh Railway Project prepared by the consulting consortium of Transport Design Consulting Corporation (TEDI) and Southern Transport Design Consulting Joint Stock Company (TEDI SOUTH).
In the project's pre-feasibility study report, the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway was proposed by the consulting consortium to be 41.83km long, of which the section through Ho Chi Minh City is more than 11.7km long and the section through Dong Nai is more than 30km long.
According to the Department of Transport, in the Pre-Feasibility Study Report of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh Railway Project, the connecting section from Long Thanh Airport to the depot and the depot location in Cam Duong commune, Long Thanh district are not included in the local planning.
Dong Nai Department of Transport has just sent a document to the Ministry of Transport regarding comments on the Pre-Feasibility Study Report of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh Railway Project. In the document signed by Deputy Director of the Department of Transport Duong Manh Hung, Dong Nai agreed on the project route plan according to the pre-feasibility study report. Accordingly, the route will be elevated, on the left, within the 120m planning area of the Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City (in the direction from Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Nai). Then, turn right, go on the 7m median strip of Provincial Road 25B, cross National Highway 51, start underground, reach the intersection of route T1 with Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway and follow route T1 to enter Long Thanh International Airport (airport).
According to the Department of Transport, the route is basically consistent with the Dong Nai Provincial Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050; the general urban planning of Nhon Trach and the land use planning of Nhon Trach and Long Thanh districts.
Particularly, the section that coincides with Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City has some overlapping locations with the clearance boundary of the completed phase of Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City Project. Therefore, the Department of Transport requests the Railway Project Management Board, Ministry of Transport to review to avoid overlapping with the items of the completed phase of Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City Project.
Regarding the location of stations, the province agreed to arrange 12 stations through Dong Nai, including 8 elevated stations (from station S9-S16) and 4 underground stations (from station S17-S20). At the same time, it is recommended that for elevated stations, it is necessary to study and supplement the land area occupied on both sides of Provincial Road 25B and Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City to arrange parking lots and pedestrian overpasses connecting to the stations. Dong Nai agreed to arrange a depot with an area of over 21 hectares in the area north of Long Thanh Airport, in Cam Duong commune, Long Thanh district.
Regarding site clearance, the Department of Transport said that the section passing through the province includes a section within provincial road 25B (from Km18+500 to Km29+500) and route T1, connecting Long Thanh Airport (from Km32+500 to Km45+500). These projects have completed site clearance and are under construction.
Therefore, the scope of influence of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line does not include the land acquisition area for the 23km on provincial road 25B, route T1 and within the airport area. Therefore, the province proposes to recalculate the land acquisition area and land type of the project in Dong Nai province.
Early project implementation to share traffic pressure
In a written comment sent to the Ministry of Transport, the Department of Transport said that the locality's ability to balance capital sources is currently very difficult because it has participated in 50% of the site clearance costs of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway Project and 50% of the total investment of the Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City section passing through the province. The locality is unlikely to be able to balance the site clearance costs of the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh Railway Project. Therefore, the province proposed to use the site clearance costs of this project from public investment capital allocated from the central budget.
Regarding this project, at the working session with the Government delegation led by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to inspect and work on the progress of the Long Thanh Airport Project, connecting infrastructure and planning, urban development of Long Thanh Airport and surrounding areas in early December, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc proposed that the Ministry of Transport speed up the project implementation to share traffic volume for the road system. When Long Thanh Airport is put into operation, it is expected that 70% of passengers will travel to Ho Chi Minh City, putting great pressure on the road traffic system.
