Speeding up construction of the most complex intersection of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project

Due to land acquisition issues, the Tan Van intersection construction package of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project is facing delays. However, the investor and contractors are making efforts to speed up the progress to maintain the plan to reach the finish line.

Tan Van Interchange belongs to Package XL1 of Component 5 of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 Construction Project. This is considered the most complex and massive intersection of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 Project. According to the design, this intersection will connect the routes of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 - National Highway 1 (Hanoi Highway) - Nguyen Xien (Thu Duc City) - DT 743A (connecting Tan Van Road, Di An City, Binh Duong).

Construction started in May 2024, with a total investment of more than VND 1,830 billion, Tan Van intersection is expected to be completed in about 1,000 days, reaching the finish line by the end of 2026. To date, after 7 months of construction, this intersection has only achieved about 6% of the plan. The reason is that the site clearance work has not been completed, the contractor does not have enough clean land for construction.

Mr. Tran Hung Viet, Director of the Binh Duong Province Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (investor) said that the project's site clearance has been completed by about 87%. Although only about 13% of the site has not been completed, it has greatly affected the construction of the joint venture of contractors.

In addition, the project also encountered many other difficulties such as discontinuous construction sites, technical design adjustments due to changes in construction geology; technical infrastructure works on the route such as electricity, water, drainage systems, and optical cables have not been relocated...

However, according to Mr. Viet, the Traffic Department and contractors are still speeding up construction to ensure the project is completed as planned.

According to the reporter of Giao thong Newspaper on December 19, at the construction site of Tan Van intersection, dozens of workers and machinery and equipment were still working busily. Many equipment such as pile drilling machines, excavators, trucks, rollers, steel cutting and bending machines, gantry cranes, dump trucks... were gathered at the construction site to serve the construction.

Some positions have been constructed on the column body, preparing to construct the column base. The beams have also been precast and gathered at the construction site.

Meanwhile, some locations are still drilling piles. This is a complex intersection with a system of overpasses crossing Highway 1.

Responding to the 500-day-night plan and ensuring the completion of the target of 3,000km of expressway by 2025, Binh Duong province strives to accelerate the completion progress to 80% of XL1 and XL3, focusing on completing the section from My Phuoc - Tan Van to National Highway 13 and the overpasses at intersections; striving to open the entire route by June 2026.

The Component 5 project of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, the section through Binh Duong province, is 11.43 km long with a total investment of VND5,752 billion. According to the plan, the XL2 package (Binh Chuan intersection), XL4 package (Binh Goi bridge) will be completed in December 2025; the XL3 package (section from Binh Chuan to Saigon river) will be completed in September 2026; and the XL1 package (Tan Van intersection) will be completed in December 2026.
