These projects will meet the transportation demand at some urgent segments, building the eastern North-South Highway with high capacity, safety, and high speed way.

These projects will connect political-economic centers, especially three major economic zones, economic parks, and industrial parks, contributing to the completion of a synchronous infrastructure system, the promotion of socioeconomic development, ensuring national defense-security, and improving economic competitiveness.

These projects have started preparations since earlier this year and are expected to be finished by 2021.
