According to the Ministry of Transport, the component projects of Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet and Phan Thiet - Dau Giay sections are assigned to Project Management Board 7 and Thang Long Project Management Board to organize and implement construction, complete and put into operation from May 2023, promoting investment efficiency.

However, according to the report, since the time of putting into operation, there have been many cases of people arbitrarily dismantling fences, bad guys stealing anti-glare panels, materials, electrical equipment in the lighting system... seriously affecting the safety of exploitation and loss of project assets.

Although the investors have sent documents to local authorities for handling, it has not been thoroughly handled yet.
