The road plays a role as a strategic connection, closely linking Binh Phuoc and Dak Nong provinces and many localities in the Central Highlands with Ho Chi Minh City – the country’s leading dynamic economic center.
The formation of the expressway will not only help expand the development space and create new growth momentum for both regions but also help to effectively exploit the land fund along the route. At the same time, the road will promote the development of tourism, processing industry, mineral exploitation, and key economic sectors, opening up opportunities for socio-economic breakthroughs in the Central Highlands and Southeast regions.
Once completed, the project will reduce travel time, logistics costs, promote trade and investment attraction, and contribute to ensuring national defense and security and enhancing regional connectivity towards sustainable development.
