On October 28, the 11th-term Lam Dong People's Council approved a resolution at its eighth, thematic session to adjust the investment plan for the Tan Phu expressway in Dong Nai province - Bao Loc in Lam Dong province, under a public-private partnership (PPP).
The Tan Phu - Bao Loc expressway will be about 65.88 km long, with a 22-metre roadbed, four traffic lanes and two continuous emergency stopping lanes.
The project's preliminary total investment is VND17,561 billion, an increase of VND361 billion from the previously approved plan. Technical traffic is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2028, with construction completed and the road opened in the fourth quarter of 2028. Construction began in late 2025.
According to the review report by the Lam Dong People's Council's Economic and Budget Committee, the adjustment is needed to build the expressway to its full planned scale from the outset, limit waste during later expansion and ensure traffic safety.
The expressway has a total investment of more than VND18,000 billion. The project is being carried out under a public-private partnership, with Son Hai Group as the main investor. Construction began on December 19, 2025.
Earlier, on October 8, the 11th-term Lam Dong People's Council approved a resolution to change the scale of the Bao Loc - Lien Khuong expressway and increase its total investment. The adjustment is intended to support coordinated construction, increase the route's operating capacity and improve its long-term efficiency.
Under the adjustment, the roadbed will be widened from 17 metres to 24.75 metres. The expressway will have four lanes and a continuous emergency stopping lane. Its design speed is 100 km/h.
The project's total investment rose from more than VND18,500 billion to nearly VND19,000 billion. State budget funding accounts for more than 47%, with the remainder raised by the investor.
