Vietnam accelerates road, bridge, and metro projects

Overview

Vietnam continues to fast‑track large‑scale transport and urban‑infrastructure works to enhance regional connectivity. In Hanoi, construction of the Phạm Tu‑Road 70 interchange is ramping up to meet its late 2026 completion target. To prepare for the 2027 APEC Summit, Hanoi is accelerating seven bridge projects across the Red River, including the Tu Lien and Tran Hung Dao bridges. The Ring Road 2.5 project is expected to achieve technical completion by September 2026, while the National Assembly has approved investment policy for the 349 km Ring Road 5.

In the Southeast, the Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway officially opened to full operation on October 1, 2026. The 58 km route has already seen a 30 percent increase in traffic volume and a 140 percent surge in toll revenues, providing a vital east-west corridor that bypasses Ho Chi Minh City to connect the Mekong Delta with Dong Nai and the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway. The route is facilitating smoother movement of goods between industrial zones and seaports. Regarding tolling, the Ministry of Construction addressed concerns over monthly service fees from electronic payment providers like VETC and Viettel Money. These providers charge individuals 6,600 VND per month and organizations 66,000 VND per month to cover system investment, management, and security costs.

Long Thanh International Airport is progressing toward a December 2026 commercial operation goal, with component projects entering system testing phases. To support this, road projects 25B and 25C are being fast-tracked to link the airport to Ho Chi Minh City and Ring Road 3.

In Hanoi, the Urban Railway Management Board has signed a nearly 900,000 billion VND EPC/Turnkey contract with the Vinhomes – SGC consortium to develop five urban railway lines (1, 2, 8, 10, and 14) spanning over 253 km, aiming for completion by 2030.
