After nearly three years of construction, the Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon expressway is nearing completion and is ready for inauguration on December 19, 2025, as directed by the Government.

The Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon expressway, with a total investment of over 20,400 billion VND, spans 88km across two provinces: Quang Ngai (60.3km) and Gia Lai (27.7km). It is managed by Project Management Board 2 ( Ministry of Construction ) as the investor, with consortiums led by Deo Ca Group as the contractors. This is the largest of the 12 component projects of the North-South expressway in the 2021-2025 period.

The Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon expressway is nearing completion.

The project was officially launched by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on January 1, 2023. After more than 1,000 days of diligent work by over 4,000 officials, engineers, and workers, the entire route is now basically complete. The contractor is finalizing the installation of road signs, painting road markings, and cleaning the road surface, ready for the inauguration on December 19, 2025, more than 8 months ahead of schedule.

The Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon expressway connects to the Da Nang - Quang Ngai expressway at its starting point and to the Hoai Nhon - Quy Nhon expressway at its end point. Once operational, this expressway will not only alleviate traffic congestion on National Highway 1 but also open a new economic connection axis, unlocking the full development potential of the region and creating a growth impetus for the entire country.
