The Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway is one of the key components of the North-South Expressway East project, which was simultaneously inaugurated with 11 other expressway components on January 1, 2023.
With a total investment of nearly VND 12,000 billion, the Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway is under the management of Project Management Unit 7 (Ministry of Transport).
Spanning over 83 kilometers, the project is the second-longest among the 12 components of the 2021-2025 phase, only after the Quang Ngai – Hoai Nhon Expressway. The Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway traverses through four districts of Khanh Hoa province: Van Ninh, Ninh Hoa, Dien Khanh, and Khanh Vinh.
After more than a year of construction, the Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway is taking shape. Some sections have been asphalted, and median barriers and safety railings have been installed. Contractors are working ahead of schedule, with the project expected to be substantially completed by April 30, 2025, six months ahead of schedule.
During a working session in March, Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, Minister of Transport, acknowledged that the Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway project had no significant obstacles. The Minister expressed his hope that this expressway would be the first among the 12 components of the 2021-2025 phase to be completed.
Upon completion and operation, the project will connect with other expressways along the route, reducing travel distance and time. It will also link key economic and political centers and provide a seamless route to the Van Phong economic zone and the ports of Bac Van Phong and Nam Van Phong. Additionally, it will serve vital industrial zones such as Ninh Thuy, Suoi Dau, and Doc Da Trang.
In the initial phase, the expressway will have a cross-section meeting the standards of a four-lane expressway without an emergency stopping lane. Several emergency stopping points will be arranged every 4-5 kilometers, with a road width of 17 meters and a designed speed of 80-90 km/h. In the completed phase, the road width will exceed 32 meters, featuring six lanes and two emergency stopping lanes, with a designed speed of 120 km/h.
As of now, over 99% of the construction area has been handed over to the contractors, except for the power grid infrastructure, which is yet to be relocated. The photo shows the construction site in Ninh Hoa town. Several 110KV – 220KV power poles are yet to be relocated, and construction vehicles are working right below the high-voltage power lines.
The Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway mostly traverses through mountainous and forested areas. The entire route includes 34 bridges, among which the Khanh Binh Bridge (Km 346+756) in Khanh Binh commune, Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province, is the longest and largest bridge in the project. Spanning nearly 700 meters, the bridge has a construction value of over VND 206 billion and accommodates four lanes with a width of 17.5 meters.
Due to the challenging accessibility for construction, the bridge can only be built from one direction. The other side is inaccessible due to the mountainous terrain, making it impossible to transport materials. Despite the challenges, construction vehicles and equipment are constantly entering and exiting the site. To expedite progress, the contractor has organized on-site beam casting, reducing transportation time.
The starting point of the expressway is at the Co Ma Tunnel intersection in Van Tho commune, Van Ninh district. The north of the project adjoins the Chi Thanh – Van Phong Expressway, which is also under construction.
The Van Phong – Nha Trang Expressway ends at the intersection with National Highway 27C in Dien Tho commune, Dien Khanh district, connecting with the Nha Trang – Cam Lam Expressway. The photo shows the intersection with National Highway 27C at the endpoint.
The entire project is divided into two packages: XL01 and XL02. Package XL1 is undertaken by a joint venture of four contractors: Lizen, Phuong Thanh, Hai Dang, and VNCN E&C. Package XL2 is executed by a joint venture of Son Hai and Vinaconex.
Along the route, 2,774 households have handed over their land for construction, achieving a 100% rate. So far, the construction of all six resettlement areas has been completed, and land allocation and lotteries have been organized for the residents.
