Three of four sub-projects in the first phase of the North-South Expressway project, which were to be completed in 2022, are currently behind schedule. Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh has requested no further delays. Construction contractors and project management boards that do not meet requirements must be replaced immediately.
The Vietnam Association of Construction Contractors (VACC) has proposed a number of mechanisms and policies to the Prime Minister regarding the construction of key traffic projects. It will be necessary to appropriately divide bidding packages in the North - South Expressway project (second phase), to create conditions for construction enterprises to innovate technology, invest in equipment, and mobilize skilled workers.
The key North - South Expressway project has been delayed due to a lack of soil for embankments. The government has therefore issued a resolution on strengthening “specific mechanisms” for the People’s Committees of cities and provinces the project passes through.
