Ensuring the construction schedule of Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4

The relevant authorities are accelerating investment procedures and site clearance work to ensure groundbreaking of the collector roads and overpasses under Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project through Dong Nai City in June 2026.

The section of Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 passing through Dong Nai City is more than 46km long, stretching from Chau Duc Bridge to Thu Bien Bridge (including Thu Bien Bridge).

Groundbreaking for collector roads, selection of main-route investor in June

Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 is the road project with the largest investment scale in the Southeast region. The route runs through three localities: Dong Nai City, Ho Chi Minh City, and Tay Ninh Province. It serves as a strategic transport corridor connecting the Southeast region with the Mekong Delta and the Central Highlands, thereby facilitating the movement of goods from industrial parks and urban areas to seaports and airports, and vice versa. It will also link urban areas and industrial parks across the region, strengthen regional connectivity, promote socio-economic development in the Southern Key Economic Region, ease traffic pressure in central urban areas, create new development space to tap land resources and make use of areas with favorable conditions for urban development, and help regulate the population in inner-city areas.

For Dong Nai City, the project section passing through the locality is more than 46km long. According to the investment policy approved by the National Assembly, the project is divided into two component projects, including Component Project 1-2 for compensation, support, resettlement, and construction of collector roads and side roads using local budget capital; and Component Project 2-2 for construction of the main expressway route under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.

For Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project, Dong Nai City plans to commence Component Project 1-2 in June 2026.

According to the Dong Nai City Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project investor, after the city People’s Committee approved Component Project 1-2 in March 2026, the unit urgently carried out the next investment procedures. “For Component Project 1-2, construction of frontage roads and overpasses will begin at the end of June 2026. The estimated construction time for this component project is about one year”, said Dinh Tien Hai, Director of the Dong Nai City Construction Investment Project Management Board.

For Component Project 2-2, the Dong Nai City Construction Investment Project Management Board has submitted the feasibility study report dossier, and the Department of Finance has issued a document seeking appraisal opinions for the project, which is expected to be completed and submitted to the city's People’s Committee in May 2026. “For Component Project 2-2, in June 2026, the unit will also complete investor selection procedures and is expected to commence construction in September 2026”, Dinh Tien Hai added.

Prioritizing site handover for construction

According to the decision approving Component Project 1-2 issued by the city People’s Committee, in order to implement the  Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project through the locality, Dong Nai will recover more than 443 hectares of land in accordance with the completed project boundary scale.

To commence the project by the end of June 2026, at least 70% of the site area must be handed over by that time.

According to the Dong Nai City Construction Investment Project Management Board, for the  Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project passing through Dong Nai City, a total of 1,119 households are expected to be resettled.

Nguyen Cao Tai, Director of the Dong Nai City Land Development Center, said that recently, the unit has coordinated with localities through which the project passes to accelerate land origin verification and the public posting of compensation and support plans for the project.

According to Le Van Binh, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Xuan Que Commune (Dong Nai City), in order to soon hand over the site for Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project through the locality, the commune has prepared plans to arrange accommodation for relocated households.

Meanwhile, in Binh Minh Commune, Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4 Project passes through a section more than 3km long. To serve project construction, the locality must recover about 22 hectares of land. In Binh Minh Commune, the Binh Minh resettlement area has already been built and still has more than 100 vacant land lots, sufficient to meet housing needs for residents affected by the project.

In early May 2026, at a working session of the Steering Committee for the implementation of key projects and works in the city, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Vo Tan Duc, Head of the Steering Committee for the implementation of key projects and works in the city, assigned the Dong Nai City Construction Investment Project Management Board to complete design dossiers and contractor selection procedures to ensure the commencement of Component Project 1-2 before June 30, 2026. At the same time, the Dong Nai City Land Development Center was instructed to prioritize the handover of sections ready for construction first.
