The Dong Nai City Party Committee is translating the city’s 100-year development vision into concrete plans, with Long Thanh International Airport serving as a key growth engine with far-reaching impacts. The airport is preparing for trial operations and is scheduled to officially begin operations at the end of 2026.

The Long Thanh International Airport project has spurred the rapid development of a series of strategically important connectivity infrastructure projects, including Phuoc An Port, the Bien Hoa–Vung Tau Expressway and Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 3. It has also driven the emergence of bustling urban areas and new-generation industrial parks.

Notably, guided by the principle of opening up new routes to unlock economic development, Dong Nai is determined to invest in a series of new roads with eight to ten lanes, reflecting a forward-looking approach and a long-term development vision.

Thanks to these coordinated efforts, the former areas of Long Thanh and Nhon Trach, have taken on a new look. Their transformation is expected to lay the foundation for a bright future and become a source of pride for Dong Nai City and the country as a whole in the new era.
