Long Thanh Airport and Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway progress

The Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway has officially opened to traffic, providing a new 57.8 km connection between the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dong Nai. This route offers an alternative to the heavily congested urban roads of Ho Chi Minh City. Drivers should note varying speed limits across the route: 90 km/h in most sections, reducing to 80 km/h through the Binh Khanh and Phuoc Khanh bridge areas, with lower limits at specific interchanges.

Simultaneously, construction at Long Thanh Airport is progressing toward a commercial operation goal in December. The airport's first phase is designed for a capacity of 25 million passengers per year. To support this, a multimodal transport network is being developed, including the expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway and the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway, which is expected to be fully operational in 2026.
