Vietnam's Phu Yen-Dak Lak Expressway Project to Start Construction in 2027

Vietnam is moving forward with plans to construct the Phu Yen - Dak Lak expressway, a significant infrastructure project exceeding 200 kilometers in length. The investment for this highway is slated to be made before 2030, according to recent announcements.

Truong Cong Thai, Vice Chairman of the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee, provided details on the upcoming expressways in the province. He noted that the Ministry of Construction has approved the national expressway network plan, which includes a route from Pleiku (Gia Lai) to Buon Ma Thuot (Dak Lak) and Gia Nghia (Lam Dong), spanning over 260 km. This project is expected to receive investment before 2030, with an estimated cost of around 70 trillion Vietnamese dong.

The Phu Yen - Dak Lak expressway will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 will cover approximately 120 km, connecting the Bai Doc port area in eastern Dak Lak to Buon Ho in the west, with construction anticipated to begin in 2027. Phase 2 will extend the route from Buon Ho to the Cambodian border.

Officials emphasize that these expressways are crucial for improving transportation, saving time, and fostering inter-regional economic growth. The current National Highway 29, which connects eastern and western Dak Lak, is narrow, winding, and in poor condition, posing safety risks and significantly increasing travel times. For instance, traveling from Tuy Hoa to Buon Ma Thuot can take about five hours.
