Three provinces to have roads upgraded from surplus in WB-financed project

The “Building bridges for people’s livelihoods and managing local road assets” project, funded by the World Bank (WB), has had its capital adjusted from nearly $409 million to more than $423 million. The Prime Minister has approved a proposal from the Ministry of Transport to use the WB loan balance in the project due to the exchange rate difference to renovate roads in the three northern provinces of Lao Cai, Lang Son, and Nam Dinh.
