Dong Nai accelerates construction on Ring Road 3 for late-September completion
After more than three years of implementation, Component Project 3 of the Ho Chi Minh City's Ring Road 3 project passing through Dong Nai City is entering its final stretch.
Component Project 3 of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, stretching through Dong Nai City, is nearing completion as contractors intensify efforts to meet a late September 2026 deadline. The 11.26-kilometer segment, beginning at the junction with the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway and concluding at the Nhon Trach Bridge's Abutment B, has already seen significant progress. With an investment of nearly VND2.584 trillion (US$99.5 million), the project officially commenced on June 18, 2023.
As the final phase unfolds, contractors are deploying additional manpower and machinery, dividing their teams into three shifts to accelerate progress. Key components, such as roads, interchanges, flyovers, and auxiliary structures, are the focus, with lighting systems, traffic signage, road markings, and ongoing works at the DT25C flyover taking shape. At the interchange with the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway in Phuoc An Commune, access roads and connecting ramps are being constructed to ensure a smooth connection.
Despite remaining bottlenecks, site clearance and utility relocation efforts are being conducted concurrently to prevent any interruptions. As of late August 2026, approximately 80 percent of the total contract value has been completed, with Dong Nai City aiming to finalize all physical construction by the end of September 2026, aligning with the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway's completion schedule.
This critical link to Long Thanh International Airport is part of Dong Nai's strategy to accelerate key infrastructure projects supporting the airport's operation. Once completed, Ring Road 3 will create a seamless transit corridor connecting Nhon Trach District, the expressway, and other corridors leading to Long Thanh, contributing to urban development, industrial expansion, and logistics in the region.
With final completion days marked, contractors' continued push to mobilize resources and conclude outstanding tasks will be crucial in synchronizing the route's operation as planned.
