The province proposed the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Ministry of Finance to consider additional central budget capital of VND 660 billion for the project in 2024.

Mr. Nguyen Van Trinh, Director of the Traffic Management Board of Cai Mep – Thi Vai area and the investor of the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau expressway project (the section passing through Ba Ria – Vung Tau province), also proposed to the delegation that it is necessary to add another grade-separated interchange on the expressway (at the beginning of Phu My town) in order to connect with Phuoc An bridge and Ring Road 4, creating connectivity and convenience for transportation.

The Supervision Delegation acknowledged and highly appreciated the province’s efforts and results in implementing Resolution No. 43 of the National Assembly on fiscal and monetary policies, supporting the program of economic and social recovery and development and Resolution of the National Assembly on some important national projects until the end of 2023; acknowledged the province’s proposals and suggestions and stated that there will be a report and request to the National Assembly and the Government for consideration and resolution.

Mr. Nguyen Van Trinh, Director of the Traffic Management Board of Cai Mep – Thi Vai Port area, said that the consortium of 3 contractors, including Son Hai Corporation Joint Stock Company – Hoa Binh 479 Joint Stock Company – 703 Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company, is currently mobilizing 350 pieces of equipment and 500 personnel to implement 15 construction points along the entire route.
