Vietnam electronic toll collection fees and Ben Luc-Long Thanh expressway progress

The Ministry of Construction has addressed concerns regarding monthly service fees charged by electronic payment providers for toll collection. Companies such as VETC and Viettel Money have implemented fees for managing e-wallets linked to traffic accounts. For individuals, the fee is 6,600 VND per month, while organizations and businesses are charged 66,000 VND per month. These providers state the fees are intended to cover costs related to system investment, development, management, transaction processing, and security, rather than being road usage fees.

Separately, the Ben Luc-Long Thanh expressway is beginning to demonstrate its impact on logistics and regional connectivity. The nearly 58 km route connects the Southeast region with the Mekong Delta, facilitating smoother movement of goods between industrial zones and seaports. The expressway is designed with four lanes and a maximum speed of 100 km/h, offering significant time savings for travelers moving between the southwestern provinces and Dong Nai.
