It was constructed by Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No. 4 under a VND2.4 trillion contract and the final section was completed five months ahead of schedule.
The final section, connecting Beltway 2 to National Highway 51, cuts 25 kilometres from the journey and will greatly reduce congestion on the old route.
