HCMC Ring Road 3 Nears Completion - New Industrial Boost

Government leaders and city authorities recently conducted an on-site inspection of the Ring Road 3 HCMC Project — a critical transport route stretching 76.34 km through Ho Chi Minh City, Đồng Nai, and Tây Ninh, with a total investment exceeding VND 68,700 billion.

According to the project management team, 66.3 km of the route is now entering the final phase of completion and is expected to achieve technical operation on December 19. Many road sections are already paved, and elevated structures and guardrails are nearly finished.

Strong Progress Across Construction Packages

On major construction packages such as XL3 in Long Bình Ward, more than 14.7 km out of the total 29.2 km are ready for final inspection before technical opening. Thousands of workers and machinery are operating continuously in multiple shifts to meet the schedule.

The project aims for full completion before June 30, 2026, as proposed by the management board.

Wide-Ranging Impacts: Logistics, Urban Expansion, and Industrial Development

1. Improved Regional Connectivity

Ring Road 3 is expected to become a major inter-regional traffic axis, reducing congestion in central HCMC while enhancing the movement of goods between provinces and major ports.

2. A Strong Boost for Industrial & Logistics Growth

The project will significantly benefit industries such as manufacturing, mechanical engineering, packaging, textiles, and food processing—sectors that require fast links to ports, airports, and neighboring economic hubs.

3. Urban Expansion & Real Estate

Areas surrounding the ring road will gain easier access to the city center, promoting growth in housing, industrial zones, logistics centers, worker accommodation, and service developments.

Key Tasks for Maximizing Project Efficiency

• Ensure timely site clearance, relocation of utilities, and public infrastructure adjustments.

• Expedite construction of key intersections (e.g., Tân Vạn Interchange) to ensure safe and synchronized operation.

• Coordinate urban, industrial, and logistics planning to avoid fragmented development.

Conclusion

The milestone of 66.3 km ready for technical operation marks a significant achievement for HCMC’s Ring Road 3. Beyond transportation benefits, the project will reshape the region’s industrial landscape, logistics networks, and urban development.

This is an ideal time for businesses to explore new industrial land plots, ready-built factories, and warehouses located along the future high-connectivity corridor.
