According to Chairman Hien, “The construction of this expressway will not only expand the development space and create new growth momentum for both regions but also effectively exploit land potential, boost tourism, promote the development of processing industries, mineral exploitation, and other key economic sectors.”
Upon completion, the project is expected to reduce travel time, lower logistics costs, enhance trade connections, and attract investment. It will also contribute to ensuring national defense and security and promoting sustainable regional linkage.
Chairman Hien urged the investor to promptly prepare the design and select reputable and experienced contractors for the project. He also requested the investors of Component 4 and Component 5 projects and the local authorities of the provinces through which the expressway passes to expedite land clearance and site handover processes.
