HCM City (VNS/VNA) - The Prime Minister has approved aninvestment plan for the first phase of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expresswayproject, which is expected to speed up travel between Dong Nai, Ba Ria - VungTau and Ho Chi Minh City.

The total investment will be about 19.6 trillion VND (862.7 million USD).Around 6.6 trillion VND will come from the State’s budget to cover landclearance compensation and relocation.

The first phase of the project will include four lanes, except for the segmentbetween the two intersections between the expressway and HCM City - Long Thanh –Dau Giay and Ben Luc - Long Thanh, which will have six lanes instead.

Investment and construction will be carried out from 2021 to 2026.
