Ho Chi Minh City plans Metro Line 2 extension to Thu Dau Mot

Ho Chi Minh City is planning an extension of Metro Line 2 to reach Thu Dau Mot. The proposed project covers a total length of approximately 33.2 km, consisting of 17.7 km of elevated tracks and 15.5 km of underground sections.

The route is expected to feature 24 stations, including 11 elevated stations, and will include the Hiep Binh Phuoc depot covering roughly 26.8 hectares for maintenance and overnight parking. The project aims to implement a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) model to integrate commercial, service, and public spaces around stations.

Estimated land compensation, support, and resettlement costs for the project are projected to be nearly 34,400 billion VND. The development is expected to affect approximately 81.2 hectares of land and impact 2,681 cases, with 398 cases requiring full resettlement.
