The Ministry of Transport has asked the People’s Committees of certain localities to prepare plans to kick-off the construction of expressway and ring road projects.

The government earlier issued resolutions on implementing the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau, and Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressways and Ring Road No. 4 in the Hanoi capital region and Ring Road No. 3 in Ho Chi Minh City before June 30.

To date, only authorities in the Mekong Delta’s Soc Trang province have submitted to the Prime Minister a proposal to hold a breaking ground ceremony for the Chau Doc - Soc Trang - Can Tho Expressway, which is scheduled to start on June 17.

The ministry asked authorities in localities where these expressways and ring roads pass through to propose construction times and note the difficulties facing implementation, to adopt timely solutions and prevent delays.
