Once the Council makes the official announcement, the section will be handed over to the Directorate for Roads of Viet Nam for management and operation.

It is known that the La Son - Tuy Loan expressway project has been carried out on the build-transfer (BT) form with a total length of 77.6km, as part of the 3,183 km-long Ho Chi Minh Highway which runs through 28 Vietnamese localities.

This is an important route running through mountains and forests, beginning at the La Son T-junction, Phu Loc District, Thua Thien-Hue Province, and ending at the intersection with the Da Nang-Quang Ngai landmark expressway in Tuy Loan Village, Hoa Vang District, Da Nang.

There will be a total of 36 overpasses along the expressway.

Once fully completed, the expressway will help expand the transport links amongst key central regional economic hubs, boosting the city’s socio-economic development, and ensuring closer links with other localities in Central Viet Nam, and around the country as a whole.

The La Son - Hoa Lien section has basically been completed, while the 11.5km Hoa Lien - Tuy Loan section will be invested with the use of public investment capital.
