According to the announcement from the Viet Nam Road Administration, at 10 PM on March 2 the toll collection system for the five sections of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section, 2017-2020 phase) officially became operational.

The completion of more than 3,000 kilometres of the North–South Expressway marks a major “sprint” in Viet Nam’s transport infrastructure development, creating a seamless national connectivity axis and opening up new growth momentum for the economy.
