The total investment in the expressway is estimated at VND20.63 trillion, which comes from foreign loans. Work on the highway began in December 2009.

The expressway is expected to help reduce traffic jams at the entrances to HCMC from Dong Nai and contribute to the development of suburban areas of HCMC such as Nhon Trach, Long Thanh, and Phu My.
A 20-km section of the highway, which was put into operation in December 2013, now takes drivers only two hours, instead of three hours as previously, to go from HCMC to Vung Tau, Le Manh Hung, director of the expressway project management unit, said earlier.
