HCMC – The Ministry of Transport has mapped out a project to construct an expressway from Gia Nghia in Dak Nong Province to Chon Thanh in Binh Phuoc Province, with an estimated cost of VND25.5 trillion.
According to the pre-feasibility study, the Gia Nghia-Chon Thanh Expressway will begin at an intersection with Ho Chi Minh Road in Dak R’Lap, Dak Nong Province, and end at a section of Ho Chi Minh Road in Chon Thanh Town, Binh Phuoc Province.
With a total length of about 130 kilometers, the expressway will include 28 kilometers traversing Dak Nong, 99 kilometers in Binh Phuoc, and nearly two kilometers connecting an interchange with the HCMC-Chon Thanh Expressway to Ho Chi Minh Road.
The initial phase will feature four lanes. The project might be developed through a combination of public investment and private-public partnership, with contributions from state and local budgets as well as the private sector.
Site clearance compensation and resettlement support are scheduled for the 2024-2025 period, with construction slated to commence in 2025 for completion in 2016.
