Early May 20, after the urgent time of construction and completion of the DT741 intersection, the phase 2 of the My Phuoc - Tan Van expressway project with the section from the DT741 to My Phuoc in Ben Cat town was opened to traffic. Although all the way has not officially opened to traffic, people and drivers on the route are very happy. The new road is very clear, helping shorten the route of travelling on National Highway 13 from Thu Dau Mot city to Ben Cat town, Bau Bang district that often face traffic jams at peak hours.
Implementing the province's policy to implement the My Phuoc - Tan Van expressway project with the section from Nguyen Van Thanh street (DT741) to My Phuoc, there are 262 cases of clearing and handing over the site to the construction unit. Through mobilization work, most people agreed with the policy and handed over the site to the construction unit. "After being opened to traffic, the road will contribute to promoting socio-economic development of the province in general, Ben Cat town as well as Tan Dinh ward in particular while reducing the load on National Highway 13 at the section through Tan Dinh ward. Localities and people have high expectations that the road will contribute to changing the urban face, creating many production and business opportunities for people where it passes," said Mr. Phung.
As one of the local households agreeing and soon handing over the site to the construction unit, realizing benefits from the road, he quickly handed over his family's land of 1,000 square meters to the construction unit so that the project will be completed soon.

The phase 2 of My Phuoc - Tan Van expressway project has a total length of 20km. After being opened to traffic, the expressway will contribute to promoting trade activities in the whole region. According to experts, the My Phuoc - Tan Van expressway, after its phase 2 is opened to traffic in connectivity with the phase 1 will contribute to saving time and costs about 30% for businesses with demand for goods transportation in comparison to the old route on the National Highway 13 that have to cross large urban areas such as Thu Dau Mot City, Thuan An City with great pressure on the number of vehicles, leading to traffic jams. The National Highway 13 is being considered for expansion with a number of overpasses and underpasses to avoid congestion while the early completion of all the My Phuoc - Tan Van expressway is being expected by exporters, transport units because of its advantages.
