New Highway to Đà Lạt Nears Completion
A New Road to the City of Eternal Spring
The long-awaited National Highway 28B, a new route connecting Đà Lạt to the central region of Vietnam, is nearing completion. As of March 19, 2026, construction crews are working tirelessly on the final kilometers, especially the bridges over Đồi Đập Ninh, a hillside known for its scenic views and local farming communities. This project has been a source of excitement and anticipation for residents and travelers alike, promising to ease traffic and bring more visitors to Đà Lạt.
According to Mr. Lê Việt Chung, Deputy Head of the Central Road Management Project (formerly the No. 5 Project Management Unit), the project has achieved approximately 83% of its total contract value, with the road now completed from Km0 to Km68. The remaining work includes about 59.5 km of reinforced concrete, which is expected to be completed by April 2026. This completion will mark a significant milestone for the region, as the highway is expected to reduce travel time and improve safety for drivers navigating the mountainous terrain.
Local residents, particularly those in the villages near Đồi Đập Ninh, have been watching the progress with hope. Many believe the new highway will not only improve transportation but also boost the local economy by making it easier for tourists to reach Đà Lạt, a city known for its cool climate and beautiful landscapes. The completion of this road is a dream come true for many, and it's a testament to the perseverance of the workers and the vision of the local government.
As the final pieces of this infrastructure puzzle fall into place, the community is preparing for the changes that will come with this new route. The road is expected to bring more visitors to the city's famous landmarks, such as the Xuan Huong Lake and the Crazy House, and it will surely become a vital artery for the region's growth.
