Problems addressed by the Project
“Doi Moi” renovation policy introduced in 1986 has given a great impetus to boosting the economy in Vietnam. Especially in Ho Chi Min City (HCMC) the economic increase was remarkable. The rapid economic growth, however, resulted in disorderly urban environment, inducing more population density and traffic congestion in the city. In order to address such adverse situation of the city environment, HCMC established Master Plan 2020 that depicts the strategic future development of HCMC and surrounding areas. The concept also included that the new road network system such as radial road and ring road should be constructed to improve and develop the road transport system in HCMC. Accordingly, the construction of the East West Highway was planned as an important axial road connecting northeast and southwest outing area of HCMC that provides a short and efficient route from the city centre to the surrounding area. The Saigon River Crossing Tunnel (the Tunnel), which is a part of EWH, was constructed to cross the Saigon River that flows through the middle of the city and connects the central area of the city and the east side of the river. The Tunnel was selected in consideration of the lesser impact on the city scenery, navigation of the Saigon River and Saigon port. The total length of the Tunnel is 1,490 m accommodates 3x3 lanes driveways and emergency path at both outsides of the road. The Tunnel is first road tunnel constructed by immersed tunnel method not only in Vietnam but also in South East Asia.
Service Period
OC Global conducted the Technical Design including F/S Review, Definitive Plan, Detailed Design, and Tender assistance, Resettlement Programme and Construction Supervision under JICA ODA Loan for the execution of the East West Highway Project.
