The project, worth VND24 trillion ($1.1 billion), was being implemented under the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, and when finished would have six lanes allowing a maximum speed of 120km per hour, Hai said.
After three years, land clearance has been basically completed, and project investor Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Finance Investment Joint Stock Company has built 37 resettlement areas.
The project, one of a number of national priority constructions, was expected to reduce traffic jams among existing industrial parks on National Highway 5, and develop new ones in the northern region, Hai said.
