Ho Chi Minh City road set for 30-meter expansion to ease Go Vap traffic jams

Residents in Go Vap Ward are actively participating in the expansion of D3 road, a project that will quintuple its width to 30 meters. Many homeowners are dismantling their houses and clearing their land to facilitate the widening of the 360-meter stretch, which currently averages only 6 meters in width.

The current narrowness of D3, connecting Phan Van Tri to Quang Trung, frequently causes traffic jams during peak hours. The expansion aims to alleviate this congestion by creating a 30-meter thoroughfare that will link important routes, including Road No. 3, Hoa Binh Square, CityLand residential area, and Nguyen Van Luong Street.

“

As residents living in a central area like this, we are very happy and fully support the state's investment in widening the road. Everyone hopes for smoother traffic.

Local residents express strong support for the road expansion, acknowledging the persistent traffic issues caused by the narrow road and encroaching businesses. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Phuong shared her enthusiasm, stating, "As residents living in a central area like this, we are very happy and fully support the state's investment in widening the road. Everyone hopes for smoother traffic."

Despite the personal inconvenience of relocating and the disruption to businesses during construction, residents like Mrs. Nguyen Thi Chon understand the necessity of the project. She noted the daily volume of vehicles and pedestrians using the road and expressed hope that the completed expansion will lead to significantly improved traffic conditions in the Go Vap area.

The traffic jams mainly occur during peak hours, and just a few households leaving their vehicles or selling goods on the road reduce traffic flow to about two-thirds of the road, causing traffic jams.
