The government has proposed investing over VND1.9 trillion ($80 million) in a road connecting National Highway No. 27C with Provincial Road No. 656 in south-central Khanh Hoa province, linking it with neighboring Lam Dong and Ninh Thuan provinces.

Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Committee on Science, Technology and Environment Le Quang Huy presented a report examining the investment policy on the third working day of the NA’s fifth session on May 24.

Of the total capital, VND1 trillion ($42 million) will be mobilized from the State budget and the remainder will be earmarked from provincial budgets.

Nearly 57 km long, construction of the project is scheduled to run to 2027.
