Toll collection proposed for nine State-funded expressways

HCMC – The Ministry of Transport has proposed a five-year pilot toll collection scheme for the HCMC-Trung Luong Expressway and eight sections of the North-South Expressway, which were all funded by the State.

The eight North-South Expressway sections comprise Cao Bo-Mai Son, Mai Son-National Highway 45, National Highway 45-Nghi Son, Nghi Son-Dien Chau, Cam Lo-La Son, Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet, Phan Thiet-Dau Giay, and My Thuan 2 Bridge.

Among the nine expressway projects, four are currently operational while five are expected to be completed before 2025.

The toll rates for the expressways are not yet determined.

The ministry plans to pilot toll collection on those expressways for five years, starting from the date of the plan being approved. Toll revenue will go to the central or local State budget.
