The Ministry of Construction has approved the investment policy to expand the Cam Lo – La Son expressway, a section of the eastern North-South expressway, from two lanes to a fully developed four-lane highway.

The total investment for the project is approximately VND6.46 trillion (nearly $247 million).

The expressway section has a total length of nearly 99 km, including 36 km running through central Quang Tri province and nearly 63 km through its neighboring Hue city. The section starts in Cam Hieu Commune, Cam Lo District, Quang Tri Province, and ends in Loc Bon Commune, Phu Loc District, Hue City.

The project investment capital will be sourced from the Central budget's general contingency fund for the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period, and from the medium-term public investment plan for the 2026-2030 period.
