Accordingly, the highway will have a total length of 30.12 kilometres and a surface width of 31 metres, with nine intersections and 25 overpasses. The construction will be divided into two phases.

At a working session with leaders of the Can Tho People’s Committee, both the investor and the leaders reached a compromise to develop the project under the build-offer-transfer (BOT) form.

However, the representative of the Can Tho People’s Committee said that the duration for recovering the investment capital will be considered based on the investment capital and the fee rate, thus the duration for recovering the investment capital may be either longer or shorter than the duration offered by the investor.

Along with the BOT highway project, Yakin intends to develop a 100-hectare golf course, including a five-star hotel.

According to the leader of the Can Tho People’s Committee, the city has will have to seeking prime ministerial approval for the investor’s proposal.
