The traffic project connecting to the station in the third quarter of 2022 and by September 2024 must complete this station.
After that, the Government agreed to the policy of the Ministry of Defense to hand over about 27.85 hectares of defense land to the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City for management to implement the T3 passenger terminal project.
