The Ministry of Transport (MoT) of Vietnam has been working with local authorities to complete 3,000 km of the North-South expressway by 2025. Currently, the project has built around 2,000 km, with an additional 1,172 km in progress. Despite challenges with land, material shortages, and pace, contractors aim to finish critical components, including bridges and tunnels, by December 2024, ensuring road completion in 2025. Some sections, such as the Van Phong–Nha Trang stretch, are expected to open six months ahead of schedule.
MoT has initiated a 500-day campaign to fast-track the project, involving thousands of workers and heavy machinery. Ten key component projects, including stretches between Quang Ngai and Nha Trang, are advancing rapidly, with notable segments already over halfway complete. Further, the Chi Thanh–Van Phong section costs over VND10.7 trillion and has mobilised resources to achieve nearly 60 per cent completion.
