Government approves expansion of Cam Lo - La Son expressway
Investment capital estimated at $257 million.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has signed a Prime Ministerial decision, approving the investment policy for the expansion of the Cam Lo – La Son section of the North-South Expressway.
The expressway section will be expanded from two to four lanes over a length of 98.35 km, including 36.3 km running through central Quang Tri province and 62.05 km through its neighboring Thua Thien Hue province.
The preliminary total investment for the project is estimated at nearly VND6.5 trillion (over $257 million).
The project investment capital will be sourced from the Central budget's general contingency fund for the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021-2025, totaling nearly VND5.5 trillion; and from the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030, totaling VND1 trillion.
The project is scheduled to start in 2024 and be substantially completed in 2025.
The Cam Lo – La Son section links central Quang Tri and Thua Thien – Hue provinces. The expansion will help to complete the national transport network and contribute to boosting socio-economic development of the two provinces and the central region at large.
