Quang Tri (VNS/VNA) - The Quang Tri airport project, with an initial outlay of 5.8 trillion VND (227 million USD), will be kicked off on July 6 by a joint venture between T&T Group and CIENCO 4.
The project, approved by the Prime Minister under the public-private partnership model, will be located in the communes of Gio Quang, Gio Hai, and Gio Mai in Gio Linh district, covering an area of 265 ha.
The project is expected to take 50 years to complete, including 24 months for preparation and construction and 47 years and 2 months for operation and toll collection to recoup investment.
