The Procuring Authority was responsible for acquiring the land necessary for the project at no cost to the Project Company. The Procuring Authority granted the Project Company the exclusive rights and obligations with respect to undertaking the construction works. The Project Company was responsible for bearing the costs relating to construction.

As a sufficient amount of land was made available for construction, the Project Company commenced the works immediately upon contract signature. However, there was a delay in construction completion due to a major variation and challenges related to the acquisition of remaining land which had not been acquired as of commencement of construction. The variation delay was due to the process of redesigning the road for the inter-connection and inter-operation with another expressway. The details of the variations and land acquisition delays are further explained under the heading "Key Events" below.
