Project plans in Vietnam

Feasibility studies have been carried out for the No 3 and No 4 beltway projects in Vietnam. The studies were carried out by State-owned firm Transport Engineering Design Inc in the South (TEDI South). These two major beltway projects will require investments pegged at an estimated US$5.35 billion in all and if work goes ahead as planned, the links should be ready for use in 2016. The 148km No 4 beltway will connect Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) with towns in nearby provinces, such as Ben Luc Town and Trang Bom Town. Meanwhile, the No 3 beltway will stretch 90.6km between the HCMC-Trung Luong expressways and the Ben Luc-Long Thanh road. Private investors for the projects are being sought by Southern Focal Economic Zone authorities and 2560 Vietnam's Ministry of Transport.
