An area planned for the second phase of Long Thanh airport project will have its soil be used as fill material for an expressway project connecting the Dong Nai Province and its neighbor Vung Tau City.
The 187-hectare area belongs to a plot of 1,800 hectares designated for the second phase of Long Thanh International Airport project in Dong Nai, which borders Ho Chi Minh City.
It originally belonged to Dong Nai Rubber Corporation and has been withdrawn to the provincial government to serve the airport construction.
However, as the second phase of the Long Thanh airport, slated to replace HCMC’s Tan Son Nhat as the largest airport in Vietnam, has not been approved by competent authorities, there is now no basis to allocate the land to the Southern Airports Authority and the investors, the state-owned Airports Corporation of Vietnam and Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation.
The Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment on Wednesday reported that the Southern Airports Authority, Vietnam Airports Corporation, and the investors of the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway agreed to use the 187-ha area of Long Thanh airport project for the expressway construction.
This land area is now managed by the Dong Nai Land Development Fund Center under the department. It was supposed to provide filling materials for the third terminal of Long Thanh airport.
According to Dong Nai authorities, using this land to fill the base of the expressway will help reduce costs.
Commencing in mid-June 2023, the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway has a total investment of over VND17.8 trillion. It will run nearly 54 km long with 4-6 lanes to link the industrial city of Bien Hoa in Dong Nai Province with the beach city of Vung Tau in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province.

The first 16 km section is managed by Dong Nai Province; the second 18.2 km section is managed by the Ministry of Transport; and Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province is building the third section 19.5 km long.
The two provinces are in charge of site clearance for the project.
According to the investor’s estimate, the expressway project passing through Dong Nai requires more than 5.3 million cubic meters of soil. In addition to the soil at Long Thanh airport, Dong Nai is completing the procedures to permit soil filling at two mines, Tan Cang and Phuoc Binh, to serve the project.
The expressway is one of three the government seeks to build to meet the urgent transportation needs of the southern key economic region comprising, besides HCMC, Dong Nai and Ba Ria – Vung Tau, the provinces of Binh Duong, Tay Ninh and Binh Phuoc.
National Highway 51 is currently the only link between Bien Hoa and Vung Tau.
When put into use, the expressway is expected to shorten the travel time between HCMC and Vung Tau to 70 minutes instead of two hours.
The Long Thanh International Airport project, spanning 5,000 hectares, has a total estimated investment of about US$13.28 billion.
Set to be completed next year and enter operation in 2026, the airport’s first phase is being built with one runway, a terminal, and several ancillary facilities, aiming for a capacity of 25 million passengers per year.
