The Dau Giay - Lien Khuong Expressway stretches 220 km and connects southern Dong Nai province and the central highlands’ Lam Dong province, playing an important role in socioeconomic development in Lam Dong and the wider central highlands region. The Ministry of Transport and Lam Dong province are therefore moving to complete procedures and soon begin construction of two component projects, the Dau Giay - Tan Phu and Tan Phu - Bao Loc sections, with total investment of more than VND24.5 trillion ($1.05 billion) in the public-private partnership (PPP) form.
