The La Son – Hoa Lien Highway Expansion Project is a key component of the North-South Highway in the east, aiming to gradually improve the central region’s transportation infrastructure, meet transportation demands, and reduce congestion on National Highway 1.
The Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Unit is in charge of this project, which is about 65 kilometers long, has four lanes, a 22-meter-wide road, and a design speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, adhering to highway standards. With a total investment of over VND 3,010 billion from the state budget, the majority of which is allocated for construction and the handling of related technical infrastructure, the project traverses two localities: Hue City and Da Nang.
The project was inaugurated in Hue on May 29th, with a construction period of 240 days.
The main package, XL01 – La Son – Hoa Lien construction, is worth over VND 2,700 billion.
According to the plan, the project must be finished by early 2026. The Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board representative stated that land clearance work along the route has basically secured the four-lane scale from the previous La Son – Tuy Loan project. Currently, additional land clearance is only required for some locations of communal roads and canal extensions.
Construction work is currently focused on road foundations, bridges, drainage systems, and traffic safety facilities. Construction sites are arranged in a continuous 3-shift pattern to ensure timely progress and beat the rainy season.
On the construction site, contractors have mobilized 54 construction teams with over 570 workers, 76 engineers, and hundreds of machinery and equipment to work simultaneously.
Notably, the project includes the construction of 50 bridges, with the addition of new units integrated with the old ones.
For many bridges with added units, the construction units have completed 100% of the pile-driving work, a complex task, such as the Ta Lang – Gian Bi Bridge at Km51+741.79, with 21/21 piles completed; the Km41+950 Bridge with 10/10 piles completed; and the Km60+986 Bridge with 14/14 piles completed…
According to the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board, taking advantage of the dry weather, contractors are expediting the progress of the project. The Board will continue to direct and closely monitor the progress and quality of the project, ensuring absolute safety during the upcoming rainy season, and striving to complete the La Son – Hoa Lien Highway Expansion Project on schedule by early next year.
