According to the report of the Ministry of Construction, the coastal road has been oriented in the road network planning, with a total length of 2,838 km, the minimum scale of a grade III or IV road. The route of the coastal road is formed on the basis of combining national highways (about 623 km in the road network planning) and local roads (about 2,215 km in the provincial planning).

The coastal road is not part of the national highway system (except for sections that overlap national highways and expressways), so according to the regulations on roads, state budget, and competent localities, they have the authority to plan, manage, invest, and maintain the coastal road.

As of June 2025, about 1,397 km have been put into operation nationwide (including 595 km of sections overlapping national highways; 802 km of sections overlapping local roads). Currently, localities are constructing about 633 km, with an expected completion of about 239 km in 2025 and about 394 km after 2025.
