Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh to expand key connecting road to six lanes

Ho Chi Minh City and Tay Ninh provinces plan to expand Nguyen Van Bua Street to six lanes, aiming to alleviate severe traffic congestion and improve regional connectivity. The project, approved by the Tay Ninh Provincial People’s Council, will transform the current 11-14 meter-wide road into a 40-meter-wide roadway, spanning 3.81 kilometers.

The expansion will pass through Ba Diem, Xuan Thoi Son, and Vinh Loc communes in Ho Chi Minh City, and My Hanh and Duc Lap communes in Tay Ninh Province, starting at the Nga Ba Giong intersection and concluding where Provincial Road 824 meets Road No. 5. The upgrade project, estimated at nearly VND3 trillion (US$115 million), will include constructing a new Lon Bridge, completing the Lon Bridge interchange, and enhancing the TL9 Bridge to meet regional planning standards.

The project is expected to significantly reduce traffic bottlenecks, improve logistics costs, and boost investment in local industrial and urban zones.
