HCMC to Prioritize Major Infrastructure Projects in 2025

Beltway No. 3, Metro Line 2, and Saigon River Pedestrian Bridge among key initiatives.
Ho Chi Minh City plans to accelerate key infrastructure projects in 2025, including sections of Beltway No. 3 and a pedestrian bridge over the Saigon River. The Can Gio International Transshipment Port is also set to receive government investment approval shortly.

Metro Line 2, connecting Ben Thanh and Tham Luong, has achieved 98 percent land clearance, with technical infrastructure relocation scheduled for completion in early 2025. Beltway No. 3 has reached 99 percent land clearance and 33 percent construction progress, with partial operation expected next year.

A privately funded pedestrian bridge over the Saigon River is set to begin construction before April 30, 2025. Additionally, the HCMC-Moc Bai expressway project aims to start construction in late 2025, with full completion targeted by 2027. These developments mark significant steps in enhancing the city’s transport infrastructure and connectivity.
