HCMC's Ring Road No.3, also known as the Third Ring Road of Ho Chi Minh City, is a major infrastructure project in southern Vietnam. It is a circular road that will connect various areas within and around Ho Chi Minh City, as well as neighboring provinces.

The road will have a total length of approximately 90 kilometers and is designed to accommodate high volumes of traffic. It will pass through four localities: Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Long An. The project is estimated to cost over VND 75.4 thousands billion VND (around US$3.2 billion) and will be implemented in multiple phases.

The Ring Road 3 passes through Ho Chi Minh City with a length of approximately 47.5km, traversing four main areas of the city: Thu Duc City, Cu Chi District, Hoc Mon District, and Binh Chanh District.

Ring Road No.3 will integrate with existing and planned expressways, creating a comprehensive transportation network. It will connect to various important routes, including the HCMC - Trung Luong Expressway, Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, HCMC - Moc Bai Expressway, and HCMC - Chon Thanh Expressway. These connections will facilitate easier travel and logistics between different regions and enhance economic development.

Benefits

The construction of Ring Road No.3 is expected to bring numerous benefits to the region, such as reducing travel time, improving accessibility to industrial zones and residential areas, and promoting regional trade and investment. It will also help alleviate traffic congestion in the city center by providing an alternative route for vehicles passing through or bypassing Ho Chi Minh City.

HCMC's Ring Road 3 has been planned for over 10 years but has not yet been fully completed. As a result, vehicles from different provinces and cities have to pass through HCMC when traveling from one region to another, causing overload and traffic congestion.

Currently, the highways connecting HCMC with Trung Luong, Long Thanh, and Dau Giay, as well as the main national routes such as National Route 1, National Route 13, and National Route 22, are all overloaded. This is especially evident during peak hours at the city's gateways.

The real estate projects that directly benefit from Ring Road 3 include notable ones in District 9 such as Vinhomes Grand Park, MT Eastmark City, Dong Tang Long, Palm Marina, and The 9 Stallars.

The Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, passing through Nha Be district, will connect with the Hiệp Phước Industrial Park. This expressway will intersect with the HCMC - Trung Luong Expressway at a junction in Long An province, facilitating transportation from the western provinces to the eastern provinces and helping to alleviate congestion on National Route 1 and National Route 51.

HCMC's Ring Road No.3 is a major traffic project in southern Vietnam, construction of the road which is set to begin this month. The first phase of the project will involve the construction of a 76-kilometer section with four lanes, with each locality responsible for clearing and building the portion within their territory.

One notable feature of the road is an overpass that will connect it to the HCMC - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, linking Dong Nai province with HCMC and connecting to the Dau Giay - Phan Thiet Expressway leading to the coastal city of Phan Thiet. Construction of the 47-kilometer section within HCMC is scheduled to commence on June 18 2023, while the other localities plan to start their respective sections later this month.

Ring Road No.3 will also serve as a connector to four other expressways: HCMC - Trung Luong, connecting HCMC with the Mekong Delta; Ben Luc - Long Thanh, the longest expressway in the south, linking HCMC with Long Thanh and Dong Nai provinces; HCMC - Moc Bai, facilitating travel between HCMC and the Cambodian border; and HCMC - Chon Thanh, connecting HCMC with Binh Duong province.

In HCMC, the road will feature a 13-kilometer elevated section, designed to optimize site clearance costs. The entire Ring Road No.3 will span 6 kilometers in Long An province and approximately 11 kilometers each in Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces. Efforts are underway in Binh Duong to compensate affected families.

The project in Dong Nai province involves linking Nhon Trach District with HCMC's Thu Duc City, and a bridge over the Rach Chay River. The largest bridge on the road, costing VND1.8 trillion, will stretch 2.6 kilometers in length and 19.5 meters in width, including leading roads from both sides extending a total of 5.6 kilometers. The first phase of the ring road is expected to be completed in 2026, contributing to the socio-economic development of the southern region.
