The Ben Thanh–Can Gio railway is a new rail line planned for Ho Chi Minh City. It will connect the city centre with the coastal area of Can Gio, helping people travel faster.

The construction will be done by a consortium. The consortium includes SGC Investment and Construction JSC as the lead member, Vinhomes JSC, and CONINCO will supervise the work.
