Nearly 9,000 Workers Mobilized for Long Thanh Airport Construction
The Long Thanh Airport project in Vietnam is ramping up its workforce, aiming to mobilize nearly 9,000

In Dong Nai, a bustling construction site is currently home to several key infrastructure projects, including the Long Thanh Airport and the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3. Despite the National Day holiday on September 2, construction activities have not slowed down, with contractors working around the clock to ensure timely completion.
The Long Thanh Airport project is entering a critical phase, with thousands of workers and heavy machinery engaged in round-the-clock operations. The airport is expected to be operational by December 2026, and all contractors have been instructed to maintain their work schedules during the holiday to meet this deadline. The urgency of the project is underscored by the government's directive to expedite the completion of essential components necessary for commercial operations.
As of now, significant portions of the airport, including the runway, taxiways, and parking areas, are nearing completion. The passenger terminal's structure, which consists of a reinforced concrete base and four floors, has also been finalized. Contractors are now focusing on completing the terminal's interior and landscaping, aiming for substantial completion by the end of September.
In addition to the airport, the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project, which spans over 11 kilometers through Dong Nai, has also seen significant progress. Contractors are working diligently to finalize remaining tasks, with plans to have the road operational by the end of September. The construction sites along the road are bustling with activity, as workers install safety barriers, lighting systems, and complete landscaping work.
Other connecting projects, such as Road 25B and Road 25C, are also being accelerated to ensure they are ready in time to link to the Long Thanh Airport. These roads are vital for facilitating access to the airport and enhancing regional connectivity.
While many people take the holiday to relax and reunite with family, thousands of workers remain committed to their tasks at these critical construction sites. Their dedication not only supports the ambitious infrastructure goals of the region but also provides them with additional income during the holiday, as they receive double pay for working during this time.
