Key route to Cat Lai Port in Thu Duc City undergoes major expansion

The People's Committee of Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City) officially launched a project to upgrade and expand Nguyen Thi Dinh Street on April 26, covering the section from Giong Ong To Bridge to My Thuy Bridge, spanning nearly 2 km.

Nguyen Thi Dinh Street will be widened from its current 7-8 m to 30 m, featuring a 21-meter-wide roadway with six lanes and sidewalks measuring 4.5 m on each side.

The project has a total investment of over VND2 trillion ($79.7 million), with more than 80% of the land already handed over for construction.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Bach Hoang Phung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thu Duc City, highlighted the project's significance in improving urban connectivity, reducing goods transportation time, and alleviating traffic congestion, particularly at major traffic hubs such as Cat Lai and Phu Huu ports.

The construction is expected to take 14 months, with completion scheduled for June 2026.

Nguyen Thi Dinh Street is a key traffic artery leading to Cat Lai Port, handling a high volume of vehicles daily.  Its expansion is part of a broader infrastructure development plan in Thu Duc City, which includes major projects such as Ring Road 3, An Phu Interchange, My Thuy Interchange, Nam Ly Bridge, and Tang Long Bridge.
