The section of Tran Bach Dang between the Nguyen Co Thach intersection and the Tran Nao roundabout is taking shape six months after construction resumed.
Workers and heavy machinery are preparing the roadbed, installing drainage systems and compacting the surface.
Contractors are carrying out multiple construction activities simultaneously to meet the year-end completion target.
The central median, sidewalks and lighting systems are also being upgraded and completed along the route.
Around 2 km of Tran Bach Dang, from the Nguyen Co Thach intersection to the Thu Thiem Tunnel entrance, remains closed to traffic despite being largely completed several years ago.
Once the unfinished sections are connected, the road will provide a continuous route through the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, improving connectivity and easing traffic pressure on Mai Chi Tho and Nguyen Co Thach streets.
Adjacent to Tran Bach Dang is the construction site of To Huu Street and part of Luong Dinh Cua Street. The intersection between the two routes is temporarily fenced off for construction.
The other two roads, Bui Thien Ngo and Nguyen Thien Thanh, were largely completed nearly 10 years ago but still see little traffic as they have yet to be fully connected to Tran Bach Dang and To Huu streets.
The two-lane Bui Thien Ngo road is 2.5 km long and more than 11 m wide.
It runs through the Sala urban area and, according to the master plan, circles the Thu Thiem New Urban Area's ecological reserve.
