The highlight of the day was the groundbreaking ceremony for a 13km-long elevated bridge section through the Ma Da forest area (Dong Nai province). This is a component of the project connecting the Ma Da bridge with the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4.

 

According to the approved plan, building an elevated bridge instead of a roadbed will:

 

* Minimize impact on the forest ecosystem.

 

* Ensure inter-regional traffic connectivity.

 

* Increase connectivity between Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc, and the Southeast region.

 

* Contribute to the development of sustainable transportation infrastructure.

2. Continuing to Promote Regional Connectivity Transportation Projects

 

In the last days of June, many localities continued to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital for key transportation projects.

 

The projects currently being prioritized include:

 

* Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4.

 

* Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3.

 

* Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway.

 

* Khanh Hoa – Buon Ma Thuot Expressway.

 

* Routes connecting to Long Thanh International Airport.

 

The completion of these transportation routes is expected to reduce pressure on existing national highways, improve transport capacity, and promote regional economic development.
