HCMC – The Ministry of Transport has given the nod to the Hoa Lien-Tuy Loan expressway project, which will run across Danang City and is part of the Eastern North-South expressway project, with a total investment of over VND2.1 trillion.

Of the total investment sourced from the State budget, over VND951 billion will be used for site clearance and compensation. The construction costs account for more than VND902 billion of the total, while the rest will be used to cover other costs.

The 11.5-kilometer-long expressway will start at Hoa Lien Intersection in Hoa Lien Commune in Hoa Vang District and end at Tuy Loan Intersection in Hoa Nhon Commune in the district, the local media reported.

The road project will get off the ground in 2023 for completion in 2025. It will have six lanes and allow a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Once in place, the Hoa Lien-Tuy Loan expressway will enhance connectivity, facilitate goods transportation, reduce traffic accidents, contribute to completing the North-South expressway project and boost socioeconomic development in Danang City and the central region.
