Vietnam’s $417M highway cracks open after historic floods

The Chi Thanh–Van Phong Expressway, with a total investment of VND11 trillion ($417.7 million), starts at the Chi Thanh interchange in Tuy An Bac commune, connecting to the Quy Nhon–Chi Thanh Expressway, and ends at the National Highway 1 interchange in Hoa Xuan commune, linking to the northern portal of the Deo Ca tunnel and the Van Phong–Nha Trang Expressway.

Construction began in early 2023 and was scheduled for completion on Dec. 19, 2025. However, the project cannot meet the original deadline after floods in November, the worst in south central Vietnam in 50 years, caused landslides and structural breaks on several sections of the road surface.
