Three sub-projects of North-South Expressway to be put into operation on April 30

The project management boards and contractors are working day and night to complete the three sub-projects of the west part of the North-South expressway phase 2017-2020, including Mai Son-National Expressway 45, Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet and Phan Thiet-Dau Giay, ahead of the upcoming holiday on April 30.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport has directed the management boards of three sub-projects in the Eastern North-South Expressway to speed up construction and complete procedures to put them into operation on April 30.

Three sub-projects of North-South Expressway to be put into operation on April 30.

These are the 63.4-km Mai Son - National Highway No. 45, the 100.8-km Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet, and the 99-km Phan Thiet - Dau Giay sub-projects. The management boards have reported that 92 per cent, 85 per cent, and 91 per cent, respectively, of the sub-projects have been completed.

Recognising the large remaining workload to put these three projects into operation according to plan, the leaders of the Ministry of Transport require contractors to mobilise maximum personnel, machinery and financial resources to ensure the plan for opening to traffic on April 30.

With little time left for construction, the project management boards must establish detailed progress according to the countdown chart. Contractors must make maximum efforts to complete the main route, especially the asphalt concrete pavement and traffic safety system.

Road markings, signs and traffic safety systems must be completed before April 25 for inspection and operation. After that, the bridge overpasses and community bridge overpasses must be urgently constructed to ensure the travel needs of the people.

It is particularly noted that the units must ensure the progress and closely monitor the work's quality. The leaders of the Ministry of Transport directed the project management board and the construction units to ensure that other vehicles do not enter the construction site, as it will affect safety issues during construction.

Regarding the investment in rest stops along these three highways, the Ministry of Transport has decided on the locations for construction and has issued instructions for bidding, creating a legal framework for investment in constructing a network of rest stops on the North-South expressway.
