Meanwhile, the Go Quao - Vinh Thuan section runs for nearly 41km, from Go Quao district to Vinh Thuan district of Kien Giang.
Of the total length of nearly 52km, about 6.6km will traverse the neighbouring province of Bac Lieu, according to the ministry’s report.
When completed, the four-lane stretches will have a designed speed of 80km per hour.
The project investment is more than 3.9 trillion VND sourced from the state budget.
