The Vo Van Kiet road project connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway is still unfinished after 8 years of construction, many items at the project are degraded.

The project to build the Vo Van Kiet road connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway is still unfinished after 8 years of construction. Many items of the project show signs of deterioration, with grass and trees growing wildly after a long period of suspension of construction.

The Vo Van Kiet road project connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway has a length of 2.7km with a total investment of 1,557 billion VND. The starting point of the project connects to the end of Vo Van Kiet road (Binh Chanh district), the project includes two parallel roads, with a scale of 2 lanes.

The project started in October 2015 and was scheduled to be completed in 2017. However, the project has been suspended since 2019.

According to Dan Tri reporter, many bridge piers were abandoned for a long time after construction, with overgrown grass and trees.

Up to now, the total construction output of the project has only reached 140 billion VND (equivalent to 12% of the total investment) while the project implementation period has ended.

The construction area of ​​the Vo Van Kiet road project connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway at the intersection with Nguyen Cuu Phu road currently has no fence, it is still a dirt road. People have many difficulties when moving through this road section.

Construction materials and piles piled up at the construction site of Vo Van Kiet road project connecting to Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway.

Many items at the construction site are showing signs of deterioration, with rusty iron and steel after a long period of exposure to the sun and rain.

The end point of the project is adjacent to Vo Tran Chi Street (Binh Chanh District).

The Vo Van Kiet road project connects to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong expressway with the expectation of reducing pressure on National Highway 1 (the western gateway of Ho Chi Minh City) because this road section is often overloaded and congested.

In addition to "sharing the burden" for National Highway 1, the project to build the Vo Van Kiet road connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway is also expected to complete the traffic network in the southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, helping people move from the center of Ho Chi Minh City to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway more closely.
