The Van Phong – Nha Trang expressway, one of the 12 component projects of the eastern North - South expressway, was inaugurated and officially opened to traffic on April 19.

The Van Phong – Nha Trang expressway, which stretches more than 83 km in south-central Khanh Hoa province, was built with 4 lanes and with a total investment capital estimated at over VND11.8 trillion ($458 million).

It was designed with a maximum speed limit of 120 km per hour. However, during the initial phase, the speed is limited at 90 km per hour.

The project is expected to contribute to the completion of 3,000km of expressways nationwide by 2025 as targeted by the Government.
