About National Highway 28B Project
National Highway 28B spans a total length of 68 kilometers, traversing two provinces: Binh Thuan (51 km) and Lam Dong (17 km). The project entails an investment of VND 1,435 billion. It is divided into two packages: XD01 (Km0-Km42) and XD02 (Km42-Km68).
Package XD01, which commenced in September 2024, is expected to be completed by May 2026. Package XD02, on the other hand, started in April 2024 and is anticipated to conclude in October 2025.
As of mid-May 2025, both packages are behind schedule. Package XD01 has achieved only 16.79% of its targeted output, while package XD02 has reached 38.28%. The primary cause for these delays is attributed to protracted processes involving forest land conversion, compensation for land clearance, and relocation of technical infrastructure.
According to Project Management Unit 5, the delays in land handover are expected to significantly impact the overall progress of the project, especially during the upcoming rainy season.
The Ultimate Deadline: Reviving the Stalled 1.8 Trillion VND Project
The Ministry of Construction has issued an ultimatum, stating that if issues pertaining to land clearance persist beyond May 30, they will consider re-evaluating the project and handing over the reins of the 1,800 billion VND project to Dak Lak for independent financial completion.
