The People’s Committees of Gia Lai and Binh Dinh provinces have submitted to the Prime Minister a project building a publicly invested expressway linking localities in the Central Highlands and the south- central coastal region.

Under the project, the 4-lane expressway,  with a roadbed width of nearly 25 m, runs 143.2 km between Quy Nhon city,  capital of the south-central coastal province of Binh Dinh, and Pleiku city, capital of the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai.

Total investment capital is estimated at more than VND37.65 trillion ($1.478 billion).

The expressway will help connect seaports of the central coastal region with the Vietnam – Laos – Cambodia intersection and other countries like Thailand and Myanmar.
