In Vietnam work is now being carried out on a new highway to connect southern province to Central Highlands, while progress is being achieved on the Ca Pass Tunnel project. A 200km highway has been proposed that will link Dong Nai province with Lam Dong province. The project would extend from Thong Nhat Commune in Dong Nai to Lam Dong's Lien Khuong-Prenn highway and is subject to approval from Vietnam’s Ministry of Transport. The project will commence in 2015 if the required approval is given, and will then be completed in 2018. The project is estimated to cost US$1.52 billion, with the first phase being the construction of a two lane highway from Dau Giay to Bao Loc, Lam Dong. The link connecting Bao Loc with Lien Khuong would then be built. The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model has been proposed for phase one of the project.

Meanwhile drilling work on one of the tubes that form part of the Ca Pass Tunnel project has been constructed. Work on another section of the Co Ma pass tunnel will be completed in November 2014. The Ca Pass Tunnel project is due for completion from late-2016 to early-2017, and consists of the construction of flyovers and roads (9km), the Co Ma pass tunnel (500m) and the Ca pass tunnel (3.9km) stretching between the provinces of Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen.
