HCM City tunnel work begins, expected to ease congestion at traffic hotspot

HCM CITY — Construction of a double tunnel below Nguyễn Văn Linh Boulevard at its intersection with Nguyễn Hữu Thọ Street in HCM City’s District  七 began on Wednesday.

Each will be  四 八0m, have three lanes and cost VNĐ 八 三0 billion (US$ 三 五 million).

The construction has been divided into three phases and scheduled for completion in the third quarter of  二0 二 二.

It is expected to reduce the severe congestion and accidents that plague the intersection now since a huge number of vehicles, particularly container trucks, travel on Nguyễn Văn Linh daily.

The city also plans to speed up progress of the VNĐ 四 七 三 billion ($ 二0 million) upgrade to a  三. 二km stretch of Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh Street, including to the drainage system.

The work began construction last October and was planned to be finished within  一 四 months.

The street, which connects districts  一 and Bình Thạnh, is one of the major flood spots in the city during rains and high tides. — VNS
