The projects include belt roads 2, 3, and 4; HCM City-Moc Bai Highway, Thu Thiem 3 and 4 bridges, and Can Gio Bridge.
HCM City will arrange VND 6 trillion (USD 244.89 million) from the city’s budget for site clearance of HCM City-Moc Bai Highway.
In 2023, the city will begin site clearance of the Ben Thanh-Tham Luong metro project.
Mai said that around VND 71 trillion will be used for the city’s public investment projects next year and the city will concentrate on boosting the disbursement of this area. Local authorities will tightly supervise the projects in order to maintain a timely schedule, in case of their sluggish pace.
The official added that from now to the year end, HCM City will try to finish a few major projects, including four roads in Thu Thiem New Urban Area.
On December 21 and 22, the trial run of Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro line’s 10-kilometre elevated section will be conducted. The whole route is slated to be put into use by late 2023.
