Construction teams are working through weekends, operating in a “three-shift, four-crew” approach on Component Project 3 of the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)’s Ring Road 3 project section traversing the Dong Nai province. This is part of ongoing efforts to meet the target of opening the project to technical traffic before December 19, 2025.
