The Thu Duc Flyover was constructed from July 2012 and completed for traffic in January 2013. It spans a total length of 570 meters and is 16 meters wide, featuring 4 lanes accommodating traffic in both directions. The flyover is designed with a lifespan of 100 years and serves both directions between Saigon and Bien Hoa, with two lanes dedicated to each direction of traffic flow. This infrastructure significantly reduces traffic congestion at the city gateway by easing the flow of trucks and containers.<\/span><\/p>\n
