National Route 14 is over 1000 km long. It starts in Dakrong District, Quang Tri Province. Along the south, Route 14 runs though the provinces of Quang Nam, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Binh Phuoc. Chu Tuan Anh, a driver who usually travels and transports goods from Ha Noi to provinces of Central Highlands said: “Before the upgrade, the road to the center of Chu Se Town was a nightmare of drivers, especially in the rain seasons. At that time, the road was filled with dirt and silt, making it very inconvenient for local residents and drivers to travel. Besides, it also might cause expenses to repair vehicles’ potential damages”.
Things have already changed on Route 14. Today, after being renovated, it has become a beautiful road and be considered “the silk of Central Highlands”. The upgraded road section is from Kon Tum to Binh Phuoc with the total length of 600 km and width of 12m. The road surface has high quality with two bituminous lanes, each of which is 5m wide. To ensure the traffic safety, there are a large group of police from the provinces of Binh Phuoc, Dac Nong, Gia Lai, Kon Tum and so forth to control the speed limit along this route. Intercity roads are usually regulated and managed right at the starting point of roads.

It takes 9 to 10 hours to go between Daklak Province and Ho Chi Minh City instead of 12 hours like in the past, so we increase the volume of transport journey though this route. Today, our company has more than 10 types of trucks weighting from 5 to 27 tons, containers which are specially used to ship goods from Hanoi to Central Highlands and Ho Chi Minh City.
