The report noted that China has the cheapest cost, at about $1.3m per mile, with the US and the EU coming in at between $3.6m and $4.2m. In Russia it costs around $10.5m a mile. And in Moscow it can cost a massive $31m, according to an official at the Russian Transport Ministry.

In Lao PDR a simple 4lanes road cost 3.5 to 5.6 mil. Per km??
........Vietnam spent US$7.4-28.2 million to build a kilometer of four-lane expressway last year, according to a report from the Ministry of Construction.
The costs were higher than in other countries like China, where a kilometer costs $7.6-14.3 million, and South Korea, where it cost $19.16 million per kilometer for a 15.26-kilometer road in Busan in 2011, the ministry said.

“It is even more unreasonable that while construction costs are too high, the quality of roads is lower and has a shorter life than in many other countries."
