The road, which runs from the Dau Giay T-junction to Bao Loc city, was severely damaged after 40 years of use.
Upgrades on this important route started in November 2011 at a total cost of VND5.2 trillion, most of which was funded by foreign financial institutions represented by Goldman Sachs.
Completion of the National Highway 20 upgrade will facilitate trade between Ho Chi Minh City and Central Highlands provinces and cut the travel time between HCMC and the resort town of Da Lat to eight hours from the current five hours.
