Da Nang – Tam Ky – Sa Ky Port Expressway Logistics: Interchange Rest Stops, Clean Restrooms, and Fuel Stations

The 130 km Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway (CT01) cuts driving time between Da Nang, Tam Ky, Chu Lai, and Sa Ky Port down to roughly two hours of smooth, grade-separated highway cruising. Because controlled-access expressways do not have continuous roadside cafes like Old National Highway 1A, knowing the exact kilometre markers for highway interchanges, clean Petrolimex restrooms (WC), 4G mobile coverage, and Sa Ky Ferry Terminal facilities ensures a comfortable ride for families travelling with young children or seniors.

Expressway Interchanges, Clean Restrooms (WC), and 4G Signal from Da Nang to Sa Ky Port

Geographically, the Tuy Loan, Ha Lam, Tam Ky, and Chu Lai interchanges sit within expanded Da Nang City, while the Dung Quat interchange, North Quang Ngai exit, and Sa Ky Port (Tinh Ky Commune) belong to Quang Ngai Province. Review the checkpoint table below to plan your family’s comfort stops:

How Restroom Breaks Work on the Controlled-Access CT01 Expressway

Unlike National Highway 1A where vehicles can pull over at any town café, the emergency shoulder on the CT01 Expressway is strictly reserved for mechanical breakdowns:

1. Let your driver know 10 to 15 minutes ahead to exit at the nearest interchange: Major interchanges sit every 20 to 25 km along the Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway (Ha Lam, Tam Ky, Chu Lai, Dung Quat, North Quang Ngai). Sun Travel’s friendly local drivers know the exact clean Petrolimex stations situated immediately outside the toll gates at Tam Ky (Km 64) and Chu Lai (Km 82), allowing a quick 10-minute restroom stop before re-entering the highway.
2. Pre-fueled and inspected before 04:30 AM morning departures: Every 4-seat, 7-seat, and 16-seat vehicle in our fleet is thoroughly maintained and fully fueled the evening before your trip, so early-morning transfers to catch the 07:30 AM Ly Son ferry never waste time queuing at fuel pumps.

Passenger Facilities at Sa Ky Ferry Terminal (Tinh Ky Commune)

• Inside-the-gate port parking included: Your driver clears the port entry barrier and pulls right up to the covered passenger hall (all port parking fees are included in your car fare), leaving just a 30-metre flat walk to the ticket windows.
• Early-morning breakfast stalls and convenience counters: From 05:30 AM onward, the Sa Ky Port courtyard offers clean terminal restrooms, convenience stalls, iced coffee, and hot bowls of mackerel fish noodle soup so your family can eat a warm breakfast before boarding the ferry.
