📋 Tender Overview
To ensure the progress of putting the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau expressway main route into temporary operation before February 10, 2026, Project Management Board 85 has issued a document requesting Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV) and Vietnam Expressway Development Investment Corporation (VEC) to coordinate in removing obstacles. Download Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway Interchange and Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, entrance for vehicles traveling from Ho Chi Minh City - Vung Tau - Photo: XD Newspaper On February 4, Project Management Board 85 (Ministry of Construction) said that it is urgently completing procedures, coordinating with ACV and VEC to remove problems in connection, toll collection and traffic safety, in order to put into temporary operation the main route of the project component 2 high Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway before February 10, 2026 according to the direction of the Ministry of Construction. According to the plan, the temporarily put into operation section of component 2 project is about 16km long from Long Thanh intersection to the intersection with component 3 project and 19.5km of component 3 project ending at the intersection of National Highway 56. Expected to temporarily exploit 35km It is expected that before Tet, more than 35km of Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway will be opened to traffic to temporarily exploit peoples travel. Project Management Board 85 said that the connection plan between Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway with Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway and route 2 of Long Thanh International Airport project has been specifically determined. In particular, in the direction of Dau Giay to Vung Tau, vehicles traveling on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway will reach about Km 24+610 (in the Long Thanh intersection) and will turn right into branch N6 (Dau Giay - Vung Tau) to join the main route of Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway. In the direction of Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau, vehicles traveling to Km 24+250 will change lanes and turn right onto route 2 (belonging to the Port project). Long Thanh International Airport), at Km 17+650, merge onto Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway. Directions from Vung Tau to Dau Giay, vehicles from Km 17+650 split lanes to the right, onto the N1 branch bridge of Route 2, then turn right onto the N7 branch bridge (Vung Tau - Dau Giay) to go to Dau Giay. In the direction of Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City, vehicles from Km 17+650 split to the right onto the N1 branch bridge of Line 2 to return to Ho Chi Minh City. However, according to Project Management Board 85, the temporary exploitation of the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau expressway is facing difficulties because component project 2 is located between component project 1 and component project 3. Meanwhile, component project 1 is currently not completed so it cannot be connected to component project 2. On the other hand, although component project 2 is connected to line 1 and line 2 of the Long Thanh International Airport project through branches at Long Thanh intersection and airport intersection, but up to now, Project Management Board 85 has not received official information about when these routes will be opened to traffic. Therefore, currently there is only one direction for vehicles to enter the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, which is from Dau Giay, turning to branch N6 at Km 24+650. The remaining directions do not have entrances, and the direction from Vung Tau to Long Thanh also has no exits, completely depending on line 2 of the Long Thanh airport project. Besides, the issue of toll collection is also a big problem. Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway is currently managed and operated by VEC in the form of closed toll collection. While the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway project (all 3 component projects) is still implementing the design of the ITS system and has not yet built a toll station. If the main route is temporarily exploited, vehicles from Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway entering Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway will have no output signals, and in the opposite direction there will be no input signals, leading to the inability to organize toll collection according to current regulations. In addition, the work of ensuring traffic safety also poses many urgent requirements. According to the design, component project 2 has fences installed along the route, while line 2 of the Long Thanh International Airport project does not have fences. At the locations of separating and merging lanes at Km 17+650 and Km 19+650, the absence of fences poses a potential risk of animals entering Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway from the outside, causing insecurity for vehicles. To ensure the progress of putting the main route into temporary operation before February 10, 2026, Project Management Board 85 has issued a written request to Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Vietnam Airlines. Vietnam Expressway Development Investment Company (VEC) coordinated to remove obstacles. Specifically, Project Management Board 85 requested ACV to soon put line 2 under the Long Thanh International Airport project into operation simultaneously with the main route of Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, creating conditions for vehicles to enter and exit the expressway through the Long Thanh intersection. At the same time, coordinate and unify the plan to install fences along the route to ensure traffic safety. For VEC, Project Management Board 85 recommends coordinating to study the toll collection plan on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway during the period when the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway system has not yet completed the toll station system, thereby ensuring that the temporary exploitation of the main route is implemented as planned. Acceptance and opening of 2 sections of Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway first. Tet Also on February 4, the Ministry of Construction issued a document on preparing f
