As a result, some narrow sections of these streets have become degraded faster, making the traffic jams and air pollution more severe.

IDICO, a prominent urban development company, in the past proposed a BOT project to get funds for upgrading the National Highway running through An Suong – An Lac, involving expanding the road to accommodate four car lanes and two mix-traffic lanes. The project was worth VND1,880 billion at the time (about US$81.5 million, but never came to fruition due to administrative complications.

Besides the aforementioned locations, many other sections along major highways cannot meet the increasing traffic volume such as sections on national routes 1A and 50, Dinh Duc Thien Street and others, which are also hotspots of traffic collision.

According to leaders of Binh Chanh District, the locality will focus on external traffic and upgrade main roads, parallel roads, and bypasses to relieve congestion.

From now to 2025, the district proposes to invest in upgrading and expanding 30 road projects and building 31 new ones with a total length of some 86km.

On a municipal level, HCMC Department of Transportation is constructing a project for the period of 2020 – 2030 to develop all 4 gateway areas of the city, as well as upgrading the roads connecting Nguyen Van Linh Street to Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong highway.

The city also determines to solve traffic problems before approving more apartment complex projects in these areas.

Metro Line 5, phase 2, has a total length of about 14.5km, from Bay Hien intersection to the new Can Giuoc bus station

In a letter sent to the Management Authority for Urban Railways of Ho Chi Minh City (MAUR) and Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Soun-young Chung, general manager of Kexim Bank’s Global Business Cooperation Division said that the bank will soon finance the pre-feasibility study.

The project will transform from official development assistance (ODA) to the public-private partnership (PPP) model.

The study is implemented on three specific aspects: engineering, financing, and legality.

Members of the research team and participating investors have extensive experience in the construction and operation of urban railway lines, including Metro Line 9 of Seoul, Korea, built under the PPP model.

On January 19, the MAUR worked with a group of investors and consulting companies from Korea.

The group consists of Kexim Bank, Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd., Lotte Corporation, Samil PwC (finance consultant), Dohwa Engineering (engineering consultant), Sejong Corporation, and Shearman & Sterling (legal advisory), among others.

It is anticipated that the pre-feasibility study will be summited by the end of 2020.

The pre-feasibility study of phase 2 of Metro Line 5 was previously funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). However, due to objective reasons, the ODA form cannot be implemented and is being replaced by the PPP format.

At present, KOICA is funding an urban planning research technical assistance project based on transit-oriented development (TOD) on this section.

Metro Line 5 has a total length of 23.4km separated into two phases. Phase 1, from Bay Hien intersection to Saigon Bridge, has a total length of about 8.89km and a total investment value of about $1.66 billion. Phase 2, from Bay Hien intersection to the new Can Giuoc bus station, has a total length of about 14.5km.

Funding for this project comes from the Spanish government, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Investment Bank (EIB), and German Reconstruction Bank (KfW).

Ho Chi Minh City is planning to construct eight metro lines with a total length of about 220km, with the total investment of nearly $25 billion. Currently, Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien) and Line 2 (Ben Thanh-Tham Luong) have been invested in the form of ODA.

In addition to phase 2 of Metro Line 5, which is calling for investment, Ho Chi Minh City is also calling for investment in four other metro lines, including Line 2 (phase 2), 3A, 4, and 5 (phase 1).
