New road to Mui Ne and Phan Thiet
New road to Mui Ne and Phan Thiet
Travel by road from Ho Chi Minh City to the coastal port of Phan Thiet in south-east Vietnam will be drastically cut from an average five to two hours with the opening of the 99 km-long Dau Giay-Phan Thiet Expressway. The new link will connect with the existing HCMC-Dau Giay Expressway. The Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet and Mai Son-National Highway 45 expressways are also expected to open this weekend, adding another 160 km of highways.
The new routes are part of the long-planned North-South Expressway, which will eventually connect Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and beyond. These huge infrastructure projects will take road links in Vietnam to another level; Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are normally reached by air because of the five hour journey and the new expressways will give a huge boost to resorts in Mui Ne.
