Component Project one spans 16 km, traversing Phuoc Tan, Tam Phuoc, Binh An, Long Thanh, and An Phuoc wards. To date, its implementation value has reached 2,200 billion VND, representing 90% of the contract.

Beyond accelerating construction of remaining items, the investor is finalizing the traffic management plan and coordinating with relevant authorities for acceptance testing to complete opening procedures.

Dong Nai leaders have urged contractors to mobilize personnel and equipment, implementing overtime shifts to ensure timely progress and complete the project ahead of schedule.

The Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway stretches 54 km, with a total investment of 17,800 billion VND, divided into three component projects. Once operational, it will alleviate traffic pressure on National Route 51 and cut travel time from TP HCM to the Vung Tau area to 70 minutes, a substantial improvement from the current two hours.
