There needs to be a highway connecting to the coastal road DT.716.

DT.711 Road is a very important cross-road from Thuan Hoa (Ham Thuan Bac) to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet City), connecting 3 national vertical axes through the province including National Highway 28, National Highway 1A and national coastal axis DT.716.

The route plays a role in regulating traffic between vertical axes; connecting the North-South Eastern Expressway - National Highway 1A - National Highway 28 with the national coastal axis and Mui Ne National Tourist Area with Phan Thiet airport and important coastal urban areas of the province. The DT.711 route combined with National Highway 28 forms an external traffic route, connecting Binh Thuan with Lam Dong and the Central Highlands provinces, creating a driving force for the development of the Ho Chi Minh City - Lam Dong - Binh Thuan tourism triangle, which is of particular importance in promoting rapid and sustainable socio-economic development of the inter-region. At the same time, this is also the axis connecting the Southern Central Highlands region with the Binh Thuan coastal defense line, thus playing an important role in the task of ensuring national security and defense. The investment scale of the route length is about 33.5 km, of which the existing DT.711 route is 10.5 km long (of which the section from the expressway to National Highway 28 is about 5.75 km and the section to National Highway 1A is about 4.75 km). The starting point of the route intersects with National Highway 28 at Km31+507 in Thuan Hoa commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, the end point intersects with National Highway 1A at about Km1678+580 in Hong Son commune, Ham Thuan Bac district. The extended DT.711 route is about 23 km long. The starting point connects the existing DT.711 with National Highway 1 at Km1678+580, the end point intersects with the coastal road DT.716 in Mui Ne ward, Phan Thiet city. The expected investment scale of the grade III road, the road surface has at least 2 lanes for motor vehicles, the total investment is about 920 billion VND.

To build the road, the Provincial People's Committee has proposed the Central Government to support capital and investment progress at the end of the 2021-2025 period, transitioning to the 2026-2030 period.
