HO CHI MINH CITY – Two kilometers of Nguyen Van Linh Street, District 7, expanded to 10 lanes to help reduce congestion on the South Saigon arterial route, expected to be completed by the end of May.
Nguyen Van Linh Street is more than 18 km long, extending from Huynh Tan Phat Street (District 7) to National Highway 1 (Binh Chanh District). This is considered one of the biggest boulevards in the city, but in recent years, the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone area is crowded with traffic, often congested during rush hours.
Therefore, the section in front of the export processing zone, from Huynh Tan Phat to Nguyen Thi Thap, more than two kilometers long, was widened from 6 to 10 lanes. Construction started at the end of last year, invested by Phu My Hung Development Co., Ltd.
The road surface is widened by 13.25 m on each side, thereby increasing the width to 57 m, including more than 7 m of lanes and 6 m of pavement. On the morning of May 24, the road surface here was completely paved and cars were allowed to run into all lanes.
Between the two roads, trees have been planted and lighting systems are installed.
In the lanes reserved for cars and motorbikes, a steel eel is installed, about one meter high.
Some parts of the road surface are under construction, the final items include spreading crushed stone, rolling the floor before asphalt carpeting.
