The Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) reported that 59.7 million vehicles used expressways it had invested in and managed during 2023, a year-on-year increase of 12 per cent.
These expressways include Noi Bai - Lao Cai, Cau Gie - Ninh Binh, Da Nang - Quang Ngai, and Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay.
The highest growth was seen in the Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway in Vietnam’s north, with 17.5 per cent, while the number of vehicles using the expressway ranked it only third, with 16 million.

The VEC has recently proposed expanding the Cau Gie - Ninh Binh Expressway to six lanes to curb traffic congestion, particularly during holidays.

In order to continue developing the expressway network, the VEC has been assigned to complete and put into operation the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway in the country’s south in the third quarter of 2025.
