Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai
opened a ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of the National
Highway 51 in the southern province of Dong Nai on August 2.
The Deputy PM described the highway as a traffic artery of strategic significance to the southern economic zone.
He said the zoning of the seaport group No. 5 that links seaports in Ho Chi Minh City , Dong Nai and the oil-field Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, has put a high pressure on the Highway 51 and caused traffic congestions.
Hai asked administrations and residents of Dong Nai and Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces, where the road is to run across, to provide best available conditions for the project to finish in 30 months on schedule.
The 72.7 km road section will be expanded to 39 m in width with six motor lanes and two general lanes.
The project includes the expansion of 16 bridges and construction of 13 other river bridges and 12 flyovers in the densely-populated areas at a total cost of 3.2 trillion VND (177.7 million USD)./.
