Work starts on 12 components of north-south expressway

Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính attended a groundbreaking ceremony for 12 components of the second phase of the north-south expressway project in the central province of Quang Ngai on January 1.

The 12 component projects cover a total length of 723.7km.

The total investment is initially estimated at over 6.2 billion USD.

To complete the expressway construction from the northern border province of Lang Son to the southernmost province of Ca Mau by 2025, Prime Minister Chinh asked the Ministry of Transport to direct all stakeholders to ensure the safety and quality of work with the highest sense of responsibility.

He urged relevant ministries and agencies of 32 provinces to work closely with the transport ministry to tackle arising difficulties and complete the project on schedule./.
