(Bloomberg) -- Bitexco Group's Nguyen Tien Dzung discusses the $757 million Dau Giay-Phan Thiet Expressway Project. Bitexco will take a 60% stake in the highway, the nation's first private-public infrastructure project. (Source: Bloomberg)
------------
Proposed to be developed on a new alignment as a 4-lane expressway of length 98.7 km, the Dau giay - Phan Thiet Expressway Project (DPEP) is the first PPP ( Private - Public - Partnership ) project being undertaken in the toll road sector in Vietnam.
The DPEP is proposed to be developed through the DBFOT model. The concession period proposed for the project is 30 years.
The MOT intends to award the concession for the development of the DPEP to a group of entities. The MOT has identified M/s Binh Minh Import-Export Production and Trade Company Ltd. (BITEXCO) as the first investor in the DPEP.
The MOT now intends to select the second investor for the project through an international competitive bidding process. The investors shall incorporate a project enterprise in Vietnam for the implementation of the project.
The estimated capital investment in the DPEP is $757 million.
The World Bank is providing project preparation and funding support to the Government of Vietnam for the implementation of the DPEP through the PPP model.
The DPEP is proposed to be designed as a 4-lane expressway (dual-2 configuration) with emergency and safety lanes. The DPEP is a 98.7 km section of the North-South Expressway and shall pass through the Dong Nai and Binh Thuan provinces, with the following specific connecting points.
The DPEP is a section of the North-South Expressway and passes through the Dong Nai and Binh Thuan provinces. These provinces and the other areas along the DPEP alignment have registered attractive economic growth with GDP growth rates higher than that for the economy of Vietnam as a whole. These provinces and the other areas along the DPEP alignment are expected to grow at a fast pace in the future as well pertaining to the major industrial hubs, economic hubs, transportation hubs and key infrastructure projects planned by the Government of Vietnam in these provinces. The table below provides the population and economic growth projections for the DPEP influenced areas over the next 15 year period.

An independent traffic assessment has been undertaken along the proposed DPEP corridor for analyzing the characteristics of the existing traffic and deducing indicative assumptions for forecasting the traffic demand for the DPEP. Surveys conducted on Highway 1A, at each of the sections between potential toll plaza locations on the DPEP on a weekday and a weekend include,

Our dream nearly come true.
MRT model in flower decoration during the Tet holiday ( Lunar New Year )
Subway cabin, carriage mock-up to be displayed in Ho Chi Minh City
TUOI TRE NEWS
UPDATED : 02/13/2015 21:01 GMT + 7
The Ho Chi Minh City railway authorities will display the train cabin and passenger carriage model for the city’s first metro line project to pool public comments as from early March.
Bui Xuan Cuong, head of the Urban Railway Management Board, the project’s investor, said that the agency will put the cabin and wagon simulator, which has been delivered to Vietnam from Japan, on display in District 9 for three months starting March.
The display is aimed at collecting comments from viewers on the design, appearance, colors, and other features of the cabin and carriage belonging to the Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro line, the first of its kind in Ho Chi Minh City, Cuong said.
The mock-up is part of bid package No. 3 of the metro line project, carried out by Japanese contractor Hitachi to procure electromechanical equipment, the cabin and wagons, the metro rail, and maintenance worth 39.4 billion Japanese yen (US$332.2 million).

Based on the feedback collected from the public about the model, the board will ask the manufacturer to make the cabin and passenger car at the board’s request, Cuong said.
Commenting on the simulator, the board said its exterior shows a modern image of the first metro line of Ho Chi Minh City.
Given Vietnam’s environmental conditions, the blue appearance creates a feeling of youthfulness, strength and comfort, the board said.
Under Phase 1 of the metro line project, the train will have a cabin and two cars, with a total length of 61.5 meters, and operate on a 380 V three-phase electric engine.
This train can accommodate 930 passengers and run at 110 kph on the overground section of the line and at 80 kph on the underground part of the route.

The metro line will be 19.7 km long, running from District 1 through Binh Thanh District, District 2, District 9 and Thu Duc District in Ho Chi Minh City before reaching Di An Town in neighboring Binh Duong Province.
It includes a 17.1 km aboveground part with 11 terminals and a 2.6 km underground section that has three stations.
The travel time on the entire route is 30 minutes, the board said.
Total investment in the project is estimated at 236.6 billion Japanese yen ($1.996 billion), which comes from loans from Japan and the city’s budget.
The metro line, which broke ground in August 2012, is slated to be completed in 2019 and put into operation in 2020, when it can transport about 186,000 passengers per day, according to the board.
A similar metro system is under construction in Hanoi, with work beginning in 2010 and the first line scheduled to come on stream next year.
