More toll stations on Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway from August 19

TPO - From August 19, Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) will collect tolls for using the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Day Expressway at the Ring Road 3 toll station, with prices ranging from VND9,000 - VND413,000/trip.

According to VEC's plan, Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 (connecting to Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway) through Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai will be temporarily put into operation from August 19. Therefore, VEC will collect tolls for using Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway at the Ring Road 3 intersection toll station with 6 toll lanes, in the form of non-stop toll collection (ETC).

The toll collection plan for Ring Road 3 toll station is as follows: Vehicles entering from An Phu through Long Phuoc (7km) will be charged as present; Vehicles entering An Phu and exiting Ring Road 3 (4km) will apply the open station and charge 4km.

For vehicles entering from Ring Road 3 to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, a dual station model (open station and closed station) will be applied, in which Long Phuoc Station is a transfer station. When the vehicle passes through Ring Road 3 Station, the system will record 1 open station toll transaction (Ring Road 3 - An Phu, calculated at 4 km) and 1 transaction to record input information at Ring Road 3 Station.

If a vehicle enters from Ring Road 3 and exits An Phu intersection or Ring Road 2 (towards Ho Chi Minh City), the toll will be charged for the 4 km journey (Ring Road 3 - An Phu or Ring Road 2 section). If a vehicle enters from Ring Road 3 and continues to Long Phuoc toll station (towards Dong Nai), the toll will be charged for the 4 km journey (Ring Road 3 - An Phu or Ring Road 2 section) and at the same time, an input transaction will be recorded at Ring Road 3 Station. Long Phuoc toll station is a transit station.

In the case of vehicles going from Dong Nai to Long Phuoc Toll Station (HCMC), the dual station model will be applied. Ring Road 3 Station will record both open station transactions and be the exit of the closed station. Therefore, if the vehicle goes straight to the Ring Road 2 or An Phu intersection, the toll will be collected as at present. If the vehicle goes out of Long Phuoc Toll Station and arrives at Ring Road 3 Toll Station, the vehicle fee will be calculated as 1 open station transaction at Ring Road 3 and 1 closed station transaction at Ring Road 3.
