In this component, the road will be around 31.5km long. The four-lane road is designed with a maximum speed of 100km per hour, 21 bridges, and three interchanges.

The third project is the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau Expressway, which has a total length of 53.7km. With an investment capital of 743.3 million USD, the expressway is particularly significant in connecting and shortening the transport time from the Southern Key Economic Region to the Cai Mep - Thi Vai deep-water seaport cluster and Long Thanh International Airport.
Ho Chi Minh City's Ring Road No.3 project has a total length of about 76.34km. The project, with a total investment estimated at 75.378 trillion VND (3.2 billion USD), is expected to be completed by the end of June 2026.
Ring Road No. 3 is a strategic traffic axis, creating a premise to remove bottlenecks and opening up new directions for urban, industrial, commercial, and service development.
It will connect to five radial highways – Ho Chi Minh City-Trung Luong, Ho Chi Minh City-Moc Bai, Ho Chi Minh City-Chon Thanh, Long Thanh-Dau Giay, and Ben Luc-Long Thanh, enhancing inter-regional connectivity.
