Posted Date: 01/08/2022
According to the document 188/TB-VPCP of the
Government Office announcing the conclusion of Mr. Le
Van Thanh,
Deputy Prime Minister at the meeting of the
Government's Steering Committee for the implementation of Long Thanh
International
Airport
Project,
Mr.
Le Van Thanh, Deputy
Prime Minister asked the Ministry of Transport to coordinate with relevant
units to study and expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway,
along with the routes under construction.
To meet traffic demand when
Long Thanh Airport phase 1 put into operation, the Ho Chi Minh City - Long
Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway should be expanded soon.
Along
with that is the implementation of investment in traffic routes connecting Long
Thanh Airport, including Provincial Road No. 773, Provincial Road No. 770B and railway lines connecting Long Thanh Airport under
the direction of the Government.
Previously,
the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) proposed to the authorities to soon
implement the project to expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway
to ensure traffic connectivity between Long Thanh Airport and Ho Chi Minh City when the
project is completed and put into operation.
According
to ACV, when the phase 1 of Long Thanh Airport Project
with a capacity of 25 million passengers per year put into operation, about 80%
of the passengers going to and from Long Thanh
Airport need to go to Ho Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, at present, the roads
connecting Long Thanh Airport with Ho Chi Minh City are already overloaded.
