City people. Thu Duc was miserable when he was faced with an increasingly serious traffic jam.

Thu Duc is expected to be the city with the best transportation infrastructure in the East of Saigon in the future. However, that expectation is probably still a long way from being fulfilled, while the people are still facing misery every day with increasing traffic jams.

People are haunted by everyday jams

Nguyen Xien – Nguyen Van Tang (Thu Duc City) is one of the most serious congestion routes in Thu Duc during rush hour.

As noted by the reporter of Traffic Newspaper, when there is a traffic jam, the whole forest is almost buried without moving on the road. On the dense line of tall buildings and schools, but only a single two-way street, there are no herringbone lines that share the traffic. Meanwhile, the road surface is only large enough for two cars to avoid each other.

Mrs. Pham Thi Mai, a house on Nguyen Xien street (Long Thanh My ward, Thu Duc city) urgently: “The road is small, but early in the morning, trucks are noisy. At the same time, the bus transporting students to and from school is dense, making the route always crowded and overloaded ”.

Near the intersection of Thu Duc intersection, Dinh Phong Phu – Le Van Viet street is also often congested during rush hour. The section of Le Van Viet street was widened at the end, but at the intersection with Dinh Phong Phu, there was congestion. This place is like “bottleneck” because the vehicles are rushing in so much that the whole road is always suffocating.

Similarly, Do Xuan Hop street, which intersects Tay Hoa street, Phuoc Long B ward, has also become a people’s obsession. Meanwhile, this is a unique route for people to go to the Hanoi Highway towards the Saigon Bridge. To reduce congestion, authorities recently installed signal lights and traffic regulators. Still, the congestion did not get better.

Without funding to widen the road, the congestion persists

According to the HCM City Department of Transport, to develop transport infrastructure east of Saigon towards a smart city in the next 10 years, Ho Chi Minh City plans to invest 300,000 billion VND.

Not only TP. Thu Duc, but the whole of Ho Chi Minh City is also facing a serious traffic jam. Many projects and works are implemented to eliminate traffic jams is not easy. Because at present, the megacities in the world invest a lot in public transport but do not completely solve this problem. If the city does nothing, the traffic jam cannot move. The city must invest in public transport for sustainable development, reducing traffic jams in the future.

However, this is just a project the city is aiming for, and at present, the people of the city. Thu Duc still faces daily and hourly congestion with no effective solution yet.

Representative of City Traffic Police Team. Thu Duc said that during rush hours, there are still many congestion spots in the area due to crowded cars, narrow roads, while many apartments and schools are surrounded.

“At the key routes, every day there are still traffic police forces to divert and regulate, but not because the number of vehicles is too crowded. The long-term solution is to soon deploy road widening projects at congestion points, ”he said.

Regarding Nguyen Xien Street, Mr. Le Ngoc Hung, Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Construction Investment Management Board, said that before, there was an investment project to expand about 800m of the first section from Tan Van. However, it coincides with the Ring Road 3 project.

“Therefore, in order to avoid waste, the above project will not be implemented because the Ring Road 3 already exists. There are other projects included in the city’s transport development project but the possibility of not having capital in the fifth period. 2021 – 2025. Therefore, the city needs to have a different capital production mechanism to be able to invest, ”said Mr. Hung.

To reduce congestion, the representative of the Center for Road Traffic Infrastructure Management under the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City said that the projects to expand a number of roads such as Le Van Viet, Do Xuan Hop, Nguyen Xien … has been included in the 10-year upgrade plan but has not yet been implemented due to the lack of capital allocation.

“If the work in progress are completed such as: Construction of Nam Ly Bridge, Tang Long Bridge, Long Dai Bridge …, congestion will decrease significantly. The above projects were suspended because of compensation for site clearance. At the same time, when metro line 1 comes into operation, it will reduce traffic pressure for the city. Thu Duc “, this person said.

TS. Vu Anh Tuan, Director of the Vietnam-Duc Transport Research Center, said that the first metro line 1 in operation has a great impact on the transport and economic development not only of the creative urban area in the East, but also of the Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, in the future, the mass transit public transport routes will relieve the pressure of traffic congestion in the area.

With available infrastructure, TP. Thu Duc needs a specific plan. Projects that need to be completed soon, such as closed investment in Ring Road 2, Ring 3 and unfinished projects. At the same time, connecting functional areas to complete the inter-regional road network such as Le Van Viet, Nguyen Duy Trinh, inter-port road …
