Construction on the road started in 2022 and is slated to be basically completed in 2026. The road is scheduled to be put into operation in 2027.

Generally, the project's items are being carried out on schedule, including site clearance, feasibility and environment impact assessment reports.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked the Government Office to partner with ministries and agencies concerned to deal with problems faced by the project, under the directions of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha.

He stressed that the project will open up new development space for the capital city. It will reduce population density and traffic congestion in the inner city and gradually change the economic structure of the area along the road.

The road will also strengthen connectivity and create motivation and breakthroughs in the socio-economic development of Hanoi and neighboring areas.
