Along with that, the project has built an underpass at the intersection of Phan Thuc Duyen - Tran Quoc Hoan streets, 42m long, 9m wide (2 lanes), opened to traffic at the end of August 2024.

Construction of a 17m wide (4 lanes) 980m long overpass in front of Terminal T3 - Tan Son Nhat airport has been basically completed.

Today, the investor put into use the bidding package No. 11, 12, 1.25km long, from the starting point adjacent to the Phan Thuc Duyen underpass to the intersection of Hoang Hoa Tham street.

This section has a road cross-section of 28.5-48m, with sidewalks on both sides. At the same time, the project also builds a new drainage system with D800-D1200 round sewers and a domestic drainage system located on the sidewalk.

With the opening of this section, people can move seamlessly from the Phan Thuc Duyen - Tran Quoc Hoan underpass intersection to Hoang Hoa Tham Street, helping to reduce the load on the Lang Cha Ca roundabout and Cong Hoa Street.
