The project, estimated to cost trillions of Vietnamese dong, will create a vital link between key locations, including Da Nang Airport, Hoi An, and Chu Lai Airport. The phased approach, with the first phase connecting the airport to Hoi An, demonstrates a strategic plan to enhance regional mobility and tourism.

At the meeting with the new Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, Nguyen Manh Hung, billionaire Tran Ba Duong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Truong Hai Group (Thaco), said that in December 2025, Thaco and Hyundai Rotem reported to the city leaders the contents related to urban railway projects in Da Nang.

Thaco's involvement, leveraging their experience with similar projects in Ho Chi Minh City, instills confidence in the timely and efficient execution of this endeavor. The projected operational date of 2032 marks a milestone, promising to reshape Da Nang's urban landscape and boost its economic potential. This railway line is not merely a transportation upgrade; it represents Da Nang's vision for a modern, connected, and prosperous future.

If the schedule proceeds smoothly, construction will commence on time, and the first urban railway line in Da Nang is expected to be operational in 2032.
