HCM City metro delay proposed again
The HCM City Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) is seeking municipal authority permission to extend the deadline of the Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro project.
According to the MAUR, the investor of the metro route, the project is scheduled to be finished in the fourth quarter of this year. But there is still lots of work to be done, including completion of the acceptance for the grant of the safety certificate and evaluation process, bidding package payment and fulfilling project closure procedures. These tasks will be carried out from early 2024.

Some equipment is also still being imported to serve the trial run.
To have more time to complete the remaining work, the investor has asked the city authorities to extend the deadline until next year.
To date, around 96.43 percent of the Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro route has been completed.
The VND43.7 trillion Ben Than-Suoi Tien is HCM City’s first metro project. The route when completed would have three underground and 11 elevated stations.
The line has repeatedly suffered from revised deadlines.
