From April 26, the Nha Trang – Cam Lam expressway in Khanh Hoa province will begin toll collection at rates ranging from approximately 82,000 to 311,000 Vietnamese dong per trip, depending on the type of vehicle. This toll collection is intended to recover the investment for the project implemented under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, which commenced operations in May 2023.
Accordingly, the Nha Trang – Cam Lam Expressway Investment Company Limited has recently submitted a document to the Ministry of Transport (MoT), the Vietnam Road Administration, the Vietnam Expressway Administration, the Road Management Zone III, the Vietnam Automobile Transport Association, and the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board regarding the implementation of toll collection for road usage services on the Nha Trang – Cam Lam expressway under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract.
The Nha Trang – Cam Lam Expressway Investment Company Limited has announced that it will commence electronic toll collection services on the Nha Trang – Cam Lam expressway starting from April 26, 2024. This coincides with the anticipated opening of the Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressway segment.
The toll rates for the entire Nha Trang – Cam Lam expressway are calculated at 1,669 Vietnamese dong per kilometer multiplied by a coefficient assigned to vehicle groups.
Specifically:
- Group 1, comprising vehicles with fewer than 12 seats and trucks weighing less than 2 tons, is rated at a coefficient of 1.
- Group 2, including buses, vehicles with 12-30 seats, and trucks weighing 2-4 tons, is rated at a coefficient of 1.3 times.
- Group 3, consisting of vehicles with over 30 seats and trucks weighing 4-10 tons, is rated at a coefficient of 1.7 times.
- Group 4, involving trucks weighing 10-18 tons and 20-foot container trucks, is rated at a coefficient of 2.7 times.
- Group 5, comprising trucks weighing over 18 tons and 40-foot container trucks, is rated at a coefficient of 3.8 times.
With a length of 49 kilometers, the toll fees per vehicle on this expressway range from 82,000 to 311,000 Vietnamese dong per trip.
The fee per vehicle paid on the Nha Trang – Cam Lam highway ranges from 82,000-311,000 VND per trip.
Previously, the Nha Trang – Cam Lam expressway project commenced operations in May 2023, and was officially put into use on January 12 following completion and acceptance by the State Council for construction acceptance testing.
According to the Ministry of Transport, the State Appraisal Council for construction acceptance has recently conducted inspections and approved the opening of the Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressway for use. The official inauguration and opening for service are scheduled for April 28.
The Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressway project is one of three components of the North-South expressway invested in under the Public-Private Partnership model. The project’s total investment amounts to 8,925 billion Vietnamese dong, with a length of 78.5 kilometers spanning the provinces of Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, and Binh Thuan.
Once the Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressway is operational, it will contribute to connecting the longest eastern section (about 400 kilometers) of the North-South expressway network in the Southeastern and Central Coastal regions, stretching from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa).
