The Ministry of Construction has agreed on the investment plan for a rest stop at Km40+00 on the Dau Giay - Tan Phu expressway (60.24 km long, in Dong Nai province), under the PPP form.

The station has a scale of about 3 hectares on each side of the line, fully complying with current technical standards.

The expressway in phase 1 has a scale of 4 lanes, a design speed of 100 km/h, expected to be built in 24 months and operated for nearly 17 years.
Hai Phong ensures progress of public investment disbursement in the first 6 months of the year

Meanwhile, Hai Duong province (formerly, now part of Hai Phong city) achieved more positive results when it disbursed more than 5,700 billion VND, equivalent to 54.6% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister - exceeding the national average.
