The entire road has a length of about 3.3 kilometers, including a nearly 2.8-meter-long section from Nguyen Thi Dinh Street to Do Xuan Hop Street. The remaining section of more than 500-meter-long section from Do Xuan Hop Street to Ring Road No.2 has not been completed owing to site clearance issues.
