According to Mr. Nguyen Quang Dung, Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors of VDB, the most advantage of this project is ensuring capital, which is mobilized mainly from foreign investors. Implementing transport infrastructure projects and synchronous infrastructure projects on a very large scale with high technical requirements is a very heavy task, but the relevant parties ensure that this project will reach its destination on time.

The Hanoi-Hai Phong expressway project is also the largest BOT project ever. The project's success lies in mobilizing resources other than the State budget.

Also according to Mr. Nguyen Quang Dung, the assessment of the State Council for Acceptance of Construction Works said that so far, no serious incident affecting the quality of the project has been detected. The project was inspected by the Government Inspectorate in 2011; Inspectorate of the Ministry of Construction organized inspection in 2013; The State Audit audited phase 1 of the Project in 2014; After the project is completed, phase 2 audit will continue in 2016.

The Hanoi - Hai Phong expressway project has basically ensured progress. The main construction and installation packages have been implemented at 76.62%. Currently, the project is in a very drastic implementation phase to complete the route through Hai Phong city by the end of 2014 and put the entire route into use by the end of 2015.

The bidding packages are being constructed urgently to complete the schedule

It is expected that in 2015 the entire route of the Hanoi - Hai Phong expressway project will be put into use.

With the correct policies of the Party and Government, the direction of the Ministry of Transport, the support of ministries, party committees, and local authorities, along with the efforts and high determination of VDB and Shareholders, VIDIFI will complete the Project on schedule, soon put the Hanoi - Hai Phong high-speed motorway into effective operation, contributing to socio-economic development in the region.

The Party's policy is being realized on every road.

The Head of the Central Economic Commission highly appreciated the efforts of the investor, public units, and localities in implementing the construction of the Hanoi - Hai Phong expressway.
