The route is expected to not only reduce traffic congestion but also enhance trade and economic development in the Southeast and Central Highlands regions.
The section through Binh Phuoc province has a total length of about 6.6 km, a design speed of 100 km/h, a scale of 4 lanes, a roadbed width of 25.5 m, a design speed of 100 km/h, and an emergency lane. When completed, the expressway will be expanded to 6 lanes. The entire route includes 4 interchanges, 2 entrances and exits, 26 bridges and tunnels to ensure traffic flow.
The starting point borders Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc provinces and the ending point is Chon Thanh town (Binh Phuoc) with a total cost of 1,474 billion VND. The project is implemented in the form of public-private partnership (PPP), BOT contract type, with a commitment of local budget capital. This is a testament to the close cooperation between the Central and local governments to develop a sustainable and modern transport infrastructure system.
