Regarding the toll fee of 2,000 VND/km for the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, a representative of VEC said that this financial plan has been approved by the Ministry of Construction . This ensures harmony between people's ability to pay and businesses' financial requirements. The proposed price adjustment cycle is 3 years/time, each time increasing by 12%.

The Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway Project is part of the North - South Expressway Construction Investment Project in the East, which started in July 2014 with VEC as the investor, with a total length of nearly 58 km, passing through Long An , Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai. Initially, the project had a total investment of 31,300 billion VND, but has now been reduced to more than 29,500 billion VND, using ODA loans from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and domestic counterpart funds.

Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway has 4 lanes, 2 emergency lanes, maximum speed of 100km/h. This is the largest expressway project in the South, connecting the East and Southwest regions.

In February, on the occasion of Lunar New Year, the sections Km0 - Km 3+420 and Km 50+530 - Km 57+581 of the expressway were put into temporary operation. Last April, Km 3+420 - Km 21+850 of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway were put into operation.

The entire expressway is expected to be completed in 2026.
