The Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway, is an expressway under construction in Ho Chi Minh City, Long An province and Đồng Nai province, Vietnam, most of the route is part of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 (stretch of Mỹ Yên – Vĩnh Thanh)
The expressway has a length of 58 km (36 mi), of which 20 km is over bridges. It was approved in 2010 with an investment value of VND 31,320 billion (US$1.5 billion), partially funded by a US$636 million Asian Development Bank loan and a VND 10,500 billion (US$450 million) JICA loan. Construction started in 2014, but was delayed due to funding issues. The route includes two large cable-stayed bridges. Construction of the two bridges was suspended since July 2018 due to funding issues over a US$70 million budget overrun. This has delayed the planned completion date from 2018 to 2023, as of July 2022 next completion date is given 3rd Quarter 2025.
