Land clearance and compensation efforts are underway, covering over 1,000 hectares and affecting more than 6,600 households and 17 organizations. Gia Lai Province is processing investment procedures for 12 resettlement areas to ensure stable housing for residents. Additionally, infrastructure relocation, including power lines and clean water systems, is being documented.
According to the Gia Lai Department of Construction, sections passing through An Khê and Mang Yang passes present challenging terrain, requiring high technical standards. Following geological surveys, contractors plan to deploy mountain-penetrating drilling robots and advanced construction technologies to ensure safety, progress, and project quality.
Design Overview of the Quy Nhơn – Pleiku Expressway
The Quy Nhơn – Pleiku Expressway spans approximately 125 km, traversing 17 communes and wards in Gia Lai Province. The project is divided into three main components, with a total investment of 43.734 trillion VND from central and local budgets, as well as savings.

The project’s consulting units include reputable firms such as Thang Long Construction Corporation, Transport Engineering Corporation No. 4, IDECO Vietnam, and Transport Engineering Corporation No. 5.
In November 2025, the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee approved Component 1 of the Quy Nhơn – Pleiku Expressway, scheduled for implementation from 2025 to 2029.
Component 1 spans 22 km, passing through An Nhơn Bắc Ward, An Nhơn Town, and Bình An, Bình Hiệp, and Bình Phú Communes. It begins at Km39+200 on National Highway 19B and ends at the intersection with the western bypass of Phú Phong (Bình Phú Commune).

Notably, the expressway’s sections through An Khê and Mang Yang passes face extremely complex terrain conditions. These are among the most treacherous passes on National Highway 19, characterized by high mountains, steep slopes, sharp bends, and weak soil foundations. As such, these sections are considered the technical highlights of the project, demanding advanced construction solutions, high safety standards, and specialized technologies.
Upon completion, the expressway is expected to become a strategic transportation axis, expanding development space and providing strong momentum for logistics, agricultural product transport, tourism, and trade between the Central Coast and the Central Highlands. This will significantly contribute to the socio-economic growth of the entire region.
