The section through Ho Chi Minh City is 24.66km, the section through Tay Ninh province is 26.317km, with a scale of six expressway lanes. Phase 1 will invest in a scale of four expressway lanes according to expressway standards, with a roadbed width of 25.5m.
The project will be cleared at once according to the scale of six expressway lanes for the entire route. The preliminary total investment (phase 1) is 19,617 billion VND. The BOT investor's capital is 9,943 billion VND, accounting for 50.69% of the total project investment.
"Currently, the province is coordinating with Ho Chi Minh City to carry out preparations to soon implement the project. It is expected to start construction in June 2025 and be completed and put into operation in 2027," Mr. Chau informed.

Currently, National Highway 22 is the main route connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Tay Ninh and Moc Bai international border gate (Cambodia). However, this route is too narrow, often congested, affecting the transportation of goods and people's travel.
