Vietnam’s north-south highway project gathers pace

The proposed north-south highway project in Vietnam is gaining traction, with financing options now being considered. The Vietnamese Government is investigating a suggestion by the country’s central bank that local funding could pay for the building of the 1,372km route.

The project is expected to cost in the region of US$13.9 billion to construct and looks likely to be built using a PPP model.
