Other significant projects are ongoing, including the Ca Mau-Cai Nuoc Expressway, horizontal axis expressways like Tan Phu-Bao Loc, Quy Nhon-Pleiku Expressway, and the Dat Mui-Hon Khoai Port road.
“By the end of 2025, we will complete 3,345 km of the main expressway route, 458 km of interchanges and access roads (totaling 3,803 km of highways), and 1,701 km of coastal roads. These are significant strides compared to previous years, reflecting the results of the ‘500-day campaign to complete 3,000 km of highways’ and the mobilization of all resources for expressway development. Other expressway projects are progressing according to schedule,” emphasized Deputy Minister Hung.
