Dong Dang - Tra Linh, Cho Moi - Bac Kan, Dau Giay - Tan Phu, Cao Lanh - Rach Soi expressways are expected to start construction in 2024.
The 93 km Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway (Lang Son, Cao Bang) will start construction on January 1, 2024, with the first phase having a total investment of VND 14,300 billion under the form of public-private partnership (PPP). The starting point of the route is at the Tan Thanh border gate intersection, Van Lang district, Lang Son province; the end point is at the National Highway 3 intersection, Chi Thao commune, Quang Hoa district, Cao Bang province.
In phase one, the expressway is designed at 80 km/h, with a road surface width of 17 m; in difficult terrain, the road surface width is 13.5 m. The route will have 7 intersections, 4 rest stops, 7 toll stations, and a synchronous intelligent transportation system (ITS). The project is expected to be completed in 2026, with a payback period of 24 years and 10 months.

Due to being implemented in mountainous areas with low traffic volume forecast, the project has had difficulty mobilizing investment capital for many years. At the end of November, the National Assembly approved a special mechanism for the project by increasing the state capital ratio to 70% (instead of 50% according to the PPP Law). This is the first PPP project with a state capital contribution ratio of over 50%.
The Dong Dang - Tra Linh project is expected to be allocated 5,720 billion VND from the central budget, 4,080 billion VND from the local budget, equity capital and mobilized over 4,360 billion VND. The consortium of Deo Ca Group Joint Stock Company - ICV Vietnam Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company - Deo Ca Transport Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock Company - Construction Joint Stock Company 568 is the investor selected by Cao Bang province.
