According to Mr. Luu Tuan Tuan, in charge of project construction management (representative of the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board - Investor), by early July 2025, the project had achieved an overall progress of about 97.5% of the construction and installation volume. Currently, on the expressway, there are only about 8.5km of service roads that have not been handed over because the locality has not approved the compensation plan; creating the National Highway (QL) 9C intersection with a U-turn point and toll station; on the main route, there are about 170m of the completion stage of the items... but this does not affect the project's target progress.
