This route passes through the famous Mong Sen bridge, which will shorten the travel time from Lao Cai city to Sa Pa town by about 1/4 of the previous distance, while ensuring greater traffic safety.
According to Viettel Group, from this November, Vietnam Digital Traffic Joint Stock Company (VDTC, a member of Viettel Group) will officially provide ePass automatic toll collection service on the new route from Lao Cai city to Sa Pa town, Lao Cai province.
This toll station ensures the use of ETC (non-stop toll collection) service, shortening the journey from Lao Cai city to Sa Pa town by about 1/4 of the distance, helping drivers avoid the dangerous winding 3-storey slope on National Highway 4D on the old route. The new route, with the famous Mong Sen bridge, the overpass with the highest pillar in Vietnam (83m) and ePass service, will help vehicles to pay automatically easily and circulate smoothly.

As an important project, the route connecting Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway to Sa Pa town will bring great benefits to tourism in particular and the socio-economic development of Lao Cai province in general. According to the plan, this route will serve an average of 7,000-10,000 vehicles per day. In order to operate this route, VDTC had to undergo many testing rounds as required by the Ministry of Transport, along with the development and mastery of the non-stop automatic toll collection system from the management software at the toll station to the centralized data processing system, fully meeting the requirements.
VDTC General Director Nguyen Canh Hoa shared: “By connecting the automatic toll collection service, we aim to accelerate the progress of popularizing the ePass non-stop toll collection service in Lao Cai province, helping to manage and exploit the road system, creating convenience for people in payment, shortening travel time and meeting the strategic goals of developing digital government and digital economy of the Government in the Northwest region”.

With the desire to catch up with the trend of technological transformation in the world and digital transformation of the domestic transportation industry, Viettel Group and VDTC will continue to upgrade and develop new products and services to create a smart digital traffic ecosystem on highways, deployed at parking lots, ports, and airports in the future. Recently, ePass was honored in the category of "Outstanding digital transformation enterprise and career unit" at the Vietnam Digital Transformation Awards 2023 presented by the Vietnam Digital Communications Association.
| VDTC's ePass service has now expanded to connect with more than 40 leading banks (Vietcombank, MBBank, BIDV, VietinBank, etc.), e-wallets (Viettel Money, MoMo, etc.) nationwide. Thanks to that, vehicle owners can easily top up their transport accounts, experience the simplicity and convenience of payment and service usage. In particular, when linking the ePass transport account with the Viettel Money e-wallet, customers can proactively withdraw and top up, no longer worrying about the balance when passing through the station. |
