The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has approved adjustments to the extended Provincial Road 991 project, a key transport route connecting to the Cai Mep–Thi Vai port complex and boosting the region’s logistics and industrial development.

The 3.72km road project links National Highway 51 with Cai Mep–Thi Vai port and carries an estimated investment of more than VND2.41 trillion ($91.6 million).

Under the revised plan, the roadbed will be widened from 30m to 57m, featuring two parallel carriageways with three lanes each, designed for a maximum speed of 80kph. The project also includes adjustments to technical infrastructure, traffic intersections, bridge sections, and underpasses.

Earlier, at its 5th session on November 14, the city’s People’s Council approved the investment policy for upgrading Road 991 from National Highway 51 to Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 4.

The project is scheduled for implementation during the 2025–2030 period. Land clearance will take place from the first quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2027. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027 and be completed and opened to traffic by the first quarter of 2030.
