The Transport Department in HCM City has said it is considering to build a five-kilometre flyover which would run from Truong Son Road to Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
The department believe the USD156 million could operate as public private partnership and ease chronic congestion problems around the airport.
The Truong Son Road is always crowded with lots of vehicles running to the Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
"There will also be six branches connecting to the terminals, parking lots and some surrounding streets,” the department suggested in its proposal. "It will also connect with the flyover 1 which is being planned for Binh Thanh Street."
Tan Son Nhat Airport currently faces overcrowding due to poor infrastructure. The airport was designed to serve 25 million passengers a year but the number of passengers has increased sharply and expected to reach 31 million in 2016.
To solve the problem, the department wants to improve road and rail links.
