On 16/4, Traffic Police Team No. 6 (Traffic Police Department, Ministry of Public Security) issued a penalty notice to V.N Import-Export and Construction Joint Stock Corporation under Decree 336/2025 for failing to assign personnel to warn traffic during construction on an operational road.

Previously, surveillance cameras on the route recorded a tanker truck carrying concrete from the contractor's opened access point within the construction area entering the expressway without a guide, despite heavy traffic. A company representative later admitted the error and committed to preventing recurrence.

According to regulations, construction units must assign personnel wearing reflective vests, hard hats, and holding signal wands at hazardous locations and site entrances to ensure safety and prevent traffic congestion.

The route will be expanded from 4 to 8-10 lanes, serving as a vital connection between Ho Chi Minh City's gateway and Long Thanh International Airport.
