The 983 Vietnamese Government, the 2332 World Bank and the Japan International Co-operation Agency have provided official development assistance for the project.

Due for completion in 2017, the key expressway project will help spur socio-economic development in the North-South economic corridor and the economic triangle between Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

3260 World Highways recently highlighted how Vietnam received around $2.07 trillion (PHP90 trillion) between 2011 and 2013 from private investors for major transport infrastructure projects, according to the country’s Ministry of Transport.

Other contracts have been awarded as public-private partnership (PPP) or build and transfer (BT) projects.
