Designed for speeds of 100 - 120 km/h, the expressway will significantly reduce travel time from Gia Nghia town (Dak Nong) to Ho Chi Minh City from 4-5 hours to approximately 2 hours.
According to the Ministry of Transport, a study on a project to build a 73-km section of the Ho Chi Minh Highway from Chon Thanh - Duc Hoa, passing through the southern provinces of Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, and Tay Ninh, is expected to be approved in the first quarter of 2023. The project will therefore be restarted shortly after a delay of more than eleven years due to a lack of capital.
