The project passes through the territory of 9 communes, with a total length of approximately 60 km.
Based on transportation needs and resource allocation, the project proposes investing in a 4-lane road; in areas requiring deep excavation and embankment, the roadbed and bridges/tunnels along the route will be built to a 6-lane scale; and land acquisition will be based on the 6-lane road plan.
The total estimated land area is approximately 648 hectares, including: 182 hectares of protective forest land (of which 180 hectares are watershed protection forest); 185 hectares of production forest land; 1 hectare of special-use forest land; 223 hectares of rice paddy land; 32 hectares of residential land; 7 hectares of national defense land; and 18 hectares of other land.

The central government budget for the period 2026-2030 will provide approximately 22,430 billion VND. The local government budget for the same period will provide approximately 1,411 billion VND to participate in land clearance work.
The entire route includes the construction of 7 interchanges connecting to expressways, national highways, and main provincial roads, providing convenient access to administrative centers, economic zones, industrial parks, and tourist destinations.

It is estimated that approximately 2,833 households will be affected, with about 221 households requiring resettlement. Simultaneously, it is planned to construct 9 residential resettlement areas (1 in Hung Nguyen commune; 1 in Van An commune; 2 in Nam Dan commune; 1 in Xuan Lam commune; 2 in Hoa Quan commune; and 2 in Kim Bang commune).
