Construction of North-South expressway sections in central Ha Tinh province completed

Two sections of the North-South Expressway project, which run through the central province of Ha Tinh, were technically open to traffic on April 19.

The Bai Vot - Ham Nghi section has a total length of 35.28 km, with a total investment capital estimated at over VND7.6 trillion ($301 million). Its construction started in May 2021.

Meanwhile, the Ham Nghi - Vung Ang expressway has a total length of over 54.2 km, with a total investment capital estimated at more than VND9.7 trillion ($382 million).

The two expressway sections are scheduled to be officially put into operation on April 28.

The completion of the two expressways helps to complete the North-South traffic axis, thus facilitating travelling between central localities and the whole country.

They are also expected to help create conditions to attract more investment in industrial parks and economic zones of Ha Tinh province.
