NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue listened to the Vietnam Expressway Development and Investment Corporation’s (VEC) brief report on the project's progress. Specifically, the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway project, with a length of about 57.8km, started construction in 2014 with a total investment of VND31.32 trillion (US$1.6 billion) and was planned to be put into operation in 2019, then adjusted to before December 31, 2023.
Due to problems with loans from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), reciprocal capital, procedures for approving the policy of using residual capital, and the time arising in the process of selecting a new contractor for packages J1 and J3, VEC proposed the Prime Minister approve the policy of extending the project completion time to September 30, 2025.
