Đồng Nai Seeking Investment for Key Infrastructure Projects, Including Metro Extension

Đồng Nai Province is actively soliciting investment for five strategically important projects, encompassing transportation infrastructure and a new Provincial Political-Administrative Center, with a cumulative investment outlay approaching VND 100 trillion.

According to the Đồng Nai Provincial People’s Committee, these projects are strategically aligned with national development objectives. The extension of the Bến Thành - Suối Tiên metro line to Trảng Bom district, the Ring Road 4 project, and the route connecting Mã Đà Bridge to Ring Road 4 are prioritized investments under directives issued by the Prime Minister. The Cát Lái ferry replacement bridge and the Provincial Political-Administrative Center development are deemed consistent with current planning regulations and are ripe for investment.

Specifically, the Department of Construction of Đồng Nai Province has formally announced the call for investment in the Bến Thành - Suối Tiên metro line extension. This project involves a 20.74 km extension from the Suối Tiên Bus Station terminus of Metro Line 1 in Ho Chi Minh City to the projected depot site at Km 20+738 in Hố Nai 3 Commune, Trảng Bom District. The project carries a total investment of VND 34.719 trillion, anticipated to be financed via a blended capital structure, encompassing Central Government support, provincial budget allocations, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) financing, and land-use right auction proceeds.

In parallel, the province is actively seeking investment for the Ring Road 4 project, spanning Vĩnh Cửu, Trảng Bom, Thống Nhất, and Long Thành districts in Đồng Nai Province. The alignment measures 45.54 km, planned for an ultimate configuration of eight expressway lanes, with 8-meter wide service roads on each side and 7-meter wide sidewalks. Phase 1 envisages a four-lane expressway build with a roadbed width of 25.5 meters, designed for a speed of 100 km/h. The total investment for Phase 1 (excluding financing costs) is estimated at VND 24.759 trillion, structured as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

The route from Mã Đà Bridge to the intersection with Ring Road 4, traversing Vĩnh Cửu district, aims to enhance regional connectivity and facilitate trade between Đồng Nai and Bình Phước provinces. Phase 1 will feature a four-lane configuration, demanding an investment of VND 11.020 trillion. This allocation includes VND 220 billion for the Mã Đà Bridge component and approximately VND 10.800 trillion for the 44 km roadway, planned as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) venture.

Investment is also being courted for the Cát Lái ferry replacement bridge, situated in Nhơn Trạch district, Đồng Nai province. This strategic inter-provincial bridge will connect Đồng Nai Province and Ho Chi Minh City, encompassing six vehicular lanes and two mixed-traffic lanes. The total investment requirement is VND 19.391 trillion, structured as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) opportunity.

The fifth project in the investment drive is the Provincial Political-Administrative Center in Biên Hòa City, occupying approximately 105 hectares. The development plan includes three political-administrative building blocks (10.47 ha, 8-20 stories), a Convention Center (3.07 ha, 3 stories), a central square (14 ha), an outdoor stage (0.4 ha, 1 story), a water plaza (4 ha), and a marina. Complementary urban services and amenities, such as educational facilities, commercial/entertainment zones, mixed-use service areas, a hospital, mixed-use residential zones, low-rise housing clusters, and cultural-sports centers, are also planned. The total project cost is estimated at VND 6.800 trillion, implemented through a blend of public funding and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) modalities.
