The 54km four-lane expressway will be built at the cost of 19 trillion VND (1 billion USD) by the BIDV Expressway Development Joint Stock Company (BEDC).
The total investment came from the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) and is expected to be retrieved in 34 years from toll fee collection./.
