It is expected to complete the construction of 8,668km of fences in September 2021 when the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee hands over the land.


The item of leveling and drainage for the passenger terminal and apron area has been consulted to complete the technical design. It is expected to level the ground in November 2021 to prepare the ground for starting the foundation of the passenger terminal in February 2022.

Currently, drilling, surveying and pre-appraisal of the underground part of the work has been completed in order to start construction of the station in February 2022…
