The ceremony was attended by Mr. Pham Viet Thanh, a Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Mrs. Nguyen Thi Yen, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Head of the Provincial Delegation of the National Assembly; Mr. Nguyen Van Tho, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; as well as former leaders through periods.

The People's Committee of Ba Ria Vung Tau Province designated the Provincial Traffic Project Management Board as the investor for the Vung Tau – Binh Thuan Coastal Road Upgrade and Expansion Project. This initiative includes five sub-projects that collectively span a total length of 57.46 kilometers. The project also involves the construction of new bridges, including Cua Lap 2 and Song Ray 2, as well as several smaller bridges.
The first package of the Vung Tau – Binh Thuan Coastal Road Upgrade and Expansion Project (DT994) stretches from the Long Son Big House roundabout to the QL51 interchange. This project is carried out by a consortium led by Dat Phuong Group. Construction began on March 31, 2023, and is expected to be completed by May 2025.
Once upgraded and expanded, DT994 will replace the existing road, connecting all the coastal tourism and economic areas on the eastern side of Ba Ria – Vung Tau. This route will pass through some of the region's most beautiful coastal tourist destinations, including Long Hai, Phuoc Hai, and Binh Chau. Additionally, it will play a crucial role in providing a significant boost to the ecological tourism industry.
After the sub-projects are completed, the upgraded infrastructure will create an economic corridor linking Cai Mep – Thi Vai ports to Long Thanh International Airport and the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau expressway. This corridor will also support the development of tourism and urban areas on the eastern side of the province, as well as meet the freight transport needs between provinces.
