The main traffic axis project in Bao Vinh Ward has reached a 60% completion rate, with contractors working around the clock to keep pace with the schedule. However, site clearance has not yet been fully completed.
Speeding up construction
After more than a year of construction, the upgrade project for Duy Tan Street (Bao Vinh Ward, Long Khanh City, Dong Nai Province) is entering its final sprint. The investor and construction units are working to shorten the timeline so that the project can be completed on schedule by the Lunar New Year of 2026.
As the main arterial route of Bao Vinh Ward, directly connecting to the former Long Khanh urban center, Duy Tan Street had severely deteriorated over the years and was approved for comprehensive upgrades beginning in early 2025.

With a total investment of approximately 160 billion VND, the Duy Tan Street upgrade project comprises several key components: a 10.5m-wide asphalt-paved roadway, 5m-wide terrazzo-tiled sidewalks on each side, construction of stormwater and wastewater drainage systems, underground installation of lighting and telecommunications infrastructure, and the planting of green trees along the route.
Vo Minh Dat, Deputy Director of Dong Nhat Huy Construction Company Limited (the construction contractor), explained that the project involves numerous underground components, including stormwater drainage, wastewater systems, lighting, and telecommunications infrastructure, each requiring different foundation depths and construction phases. “We must complete the deepest structures first, then backfill to ensure safety. For example, the water supply system cannot be shut off for an extended period, so we must follow a phased plan, which sometimes results in multiple excavations along the road. We hope residents understand,” Dat said.
The complex construction process inevitably affects traffic and daily life for residents living along the road. However, locals remain supportive and optimistic. Pham Van Vuong, a resident on Duy Tan Street, shared: “The road had deteriorated badly, so we’re very thrilled it’s being rebuilt. It does affect daily routines somewhat, but everyone hopes a new road will be ready by Lunar New Year.”
Remaining bottleneck: site clearance
The project is currently about 60% complete. To accelerate progress, the contractor has organized overtime shifts, working through the night and on weekends, to complete the project before the Lunar New Year in 2026.

Dang Nam Phuoc, Director of the Project Management Unit 2 of Dong Nai Province, affirmed: “This road has very high traffic density, so construction inevitably causes disruptions. The investor will require the contractor to focus all efforts on completing the project as soon as possible, putting it into use before the Lunar New Year of 2026.”
However, the project still faces a bottleneck: several households have yet to agree on the compensation plan and have not handed over their land for construction. Local authorities are continuing efforts to persuade residents to reach a consensus and hand over the site soon.
The Duy Tan Street upgrade project is part of a series of works aimed at improving the old Long Khanh urban traffic network, which has received significant investment in recent years. Several major roads have already been repaired and upgraded, including Cach Mang Thang Tam, Hung Vuong, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Thanh Thai, and Hong Thap Tu streets. All of these efforts contribute to improving the urban landscape, ensuring smoother traffic flow, and making travel more convenient and safer for residents.
