According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, a massive flyover will be built early next year at the intersection of Nguyen Thai Son - Nguyen Kiem near the city’s Tan Son Nhat Airport to unclog an area which is choked by traffic.

The N-shaped flyover, which will comprise 3 separate arms, will cost around 504 billion VND (22.16 million USD), including land cost.

One will go from Hoang Minh Giam street above the roundabout and land on Nguyen Thai Son. It will have a second structure that turns left into Nguyen Kiem. The third will come from Nguyen Thai Son towards the airport and turn left into Nguyen Kiem.

Construction, to be overseen by the department’s Urban Transport Management Authority No3, is scheduled to finish within 8 months.

The roads around the intersection will be widened, and they will feature LED lighting systems and green trees.
