This road, stretching 76.34km, aims to connect HCM City with Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Long An, and some nearby localities in the southern region, improve the effectiveness of existing and future projects, create new development space, and make use of local land potential in order to build a sustainable and modern system of cities.
