History

National Route 51 before 1975 was called National Route 15, at that time National Route 15 included is stretch from the former National Route 1 (now is Nguyễn Ái Quốc Boulevard, part of National Route 1K [<nowiki/>]) at Vườn Mít 4-way intersection to Suối Quan bridge intersection (near Gate 11 roundabout) and from Suối Quan bridge intersection to Cửa Lấp bridge roundabout at Vũng Tàu. After the reunification, the national highway system in the South was rearranged, and at the same time, the Biên Hòa City bypass route from the Suối Quan Bridge intersection to the Vũng Tàu intersection was built. This bypass route, along with the section from the Suối Quan Bridge intersection to the Cửa Lấp Bridge roundabout, was renamed National Highway 51 as it is today. The section from the Vườn Mít intersection to the Suối Quan Bridge intersection was renamed to Phạm Văn Thuận and Bùi Văn Hòa (both meet at Tam Hiệp intersection).

In 2014, when Võ Nguyên Giáp street (the bypass) was completed, it intersects with Bùi Văn Hòa street to form the 4-way roundabout of Gate 11 (Cổng 11).
