While the gas station and electric vehicle charging area are largely complete, they are awaiting the finalization of licensing procedures to commence operation before Tet. The remaining components are being fast-tracked for an anticipated completion in 4/2026.
The rest stop system represents a total investment exceeding 310 billion VND. It comprises hai opposing stations (one on the right and one on the left side of the expressway), each spanning approximately 5 hectares. The project is being carried out by a consortium including Thanh Thanh Nam, Chau Thanh, Viet Han, Sai Gon Investment, and Thanh Thanh Cong Lam Dong.
