To speed up implementation progress, localities have coordinated with the Ministry of Transport to agree to propose a number of specific mechanisms and policies applicable to the entire route.
One of the outstanding mechanisms is to allow locality to support other locality to carry out public investment activities of projects passing through two localities. Specifically, the case of Thủ Biên Bridge connecting Đồng Nai and Bình Dương provinces
