The North-South Expressway project is scheduled for completion by 2030, aiming to establish the groundwork for Vietnam’s modern railway industry and stimulate regional economic development, positioning the country for a significant economic leap in the era of national rise.
VinSpeed has pledged to begin construction before December 2025, accelerating the project timeline to bring the entire railway into operation by December 2030.
