The Vietnamese government is mulling over a plan to build 55-kilometer expressway linking Ho Chi Minh City and Cambodia at an estimated cost of more than VND15.88 trillion (US$701 million), local media reported on Wednesday.

Re: Vietnam mulls US$701 million Expressway to Cambodia
Haven't been to VN for 12 years but I was told some of their highways are bloody expensive as build on pillars to allow easy access to multiple small farmers lands (when a standard ground level highway with a tunnel every few km is a communities nightmare except when huge farms and machine farming like found in the west.
Anyway such a highway when built will be yet another evidence of our kingdom of wonders political shortcomings.

That's exactly what I imagined as well. Expressway, but once you cross the border: cows, nor is on the wrong side of the road, etc.Anchor Moy wrote:Road from HCMC to the border:

The Cambodians will just see it as another mass-invasion tactic. Of course it will be, but the other way round like in the late 70's or in that movie "No Escape".
Vietnam setting themselves up to be the exporter major to Cambodia? Or just trying to bypass it on the way to Thailand, Knowing the Thais will do the same?
Yeah, of course it is. Once they get used to the train's 25kmph it'll be a breeze.Anyway, is it a good idea to have roads in Cambodia where people drive 120 kph ?
Whatever they build, I'll keep doing a very wary 50. Even in Vietnam, I was blasting down the road in District 2 back into D.1 (new 6 lane highway) when a woman on a Daelim started to cut very slowly and erratically across my path. Unbelievable! No idea of speed. The Honda Wave brakes were spinning on their shoes and smoking like mad. Just managed to swerve and miss her. Closest I've been to death out here so far.

Work on HCMC-Moc Bai expressway to start in 2021
By Huu Cong October 27, 2019 | 04:46 pm GMT+7
Construction of an expressway between HCMC and Moc Bai border gate in Tay Ninh Province, which borders Cambodia, will begin in 2021 at a cost of VND10.7 trillion ($460 million) for the first phase.
The work should finish in 2025 in time for the 50th anniversary of national reunification, HCMC Vice Chairman Vo Van Hoan said at the signing ceremony to execute the project on Saturday.
Highway 22 is currently the only road connecting HCMC with Moc Bai Border Gate in the southern province of Tay Ninh, and is overloaded with traffic to and from Cambodia.
The 53.5 km expressway is expected to reduce the congestion and bolster the development of HCMC, Tay Ninh and the region.
Its feasibility study is set to be approved next September and compensation for land acquisition and resettlement of evictees will follow soon afterward. Tenders to select investors will be invited in March 2021.
The first phase will involve construction of two separate sections of highway. The first will be a 33 km section from Ring Road 3 in Hoc Mon District, HCMC to Trang Bang, a district in Tay Ninh Province, which will have four lanes and a design speed of 120 km per hour.

Phnom Penh-Bavet Expressway Study Completed
AKP Phnom Penh, September 07, 2020 --
Study on the construction of an expressway, linking Phnom Penh to Bavet city, at the border with Vietnam, has been completed, said the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT).
The report on the study, conducted by China Railway International Group Co., Ltd., was presented in a meeting held here on Sept. 7, under the chairmanship of H.E. So Victor, Secretary of State at the MPWT.
Based on the report, there are three options for the expressway construction, and according to the ministry, the government will thoroughly study the three options in order to choose a proper one by taking into consideration social and economic impacts and construction budget.
The company will submit the financial report of the expressway construction in mid-October this year.
Once the construction completed, the Phnom Penh-Bavet expressway will become the Kingdom’s second expressway, after the 190 kilometre-long Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway.
The Chinese firm started conducting study on the construction in December last year.
The Phnom Penh-Bavet expressway stretches over 135 kilometres departing from Phnom Penh, crossing the provinces of Kandal, Prey Veng, and Svay Rieng before reaching Bavet city of Svay Rieng province.
Once operational, the expressway can allow a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour.
