Nha Trang - Cam Lam expressway section to full apply automated toll collections

The Nha Trang - Cam Lam section of the Eastern North-South Expressway will apply full automated non-stop toll collections (or ETC) for all vehicles from the end of the year.

It will be the first expressway in the country to do so.

Automated toll collections will help save time and fuel and reduce traffic congestion.

The installation of the automated toll collection system will be completed by December 30, according to the expressway’s investor.

It currently has four toll booths, each of which has applied both automated and manual toll collections since opening to traffic on May 19.

The Nha Trang - Cam Lam section is 49 km long and passes through Dien Khanh and Cam Lam districts and Cam Ranh city in south-central Khanh Hoa province. It has total investment of over VND7.6 trillion ($308 million) and is being implemented in the public-private partnership form, with a payback period of 16 years and 4 months.

The section is part of the Eastern North-South Expressway project in the 2017-2020 period (Phase 1).
