A representative of Hoa Hiep Company Limited - a participating enterprise in the project added: Compared to other component projects, the North-South Expressway, Dien Chau - Bai Vot section was completed later but was invested in the form of public-private partnership (PPP), so it was put into operation to collect tolls earlier to help the project enterprise recover capital.
