The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has prioritized the allocation of VND700 billion ($29.4 million) to build a section of the Ho Chi Minh Highway running through northern Thai Nguyen province.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of this year and be completed by 2025.
The project was approved by the MoT in May.
It has a total length of 28.6 km, with capital estimated at over VND1.66 trillion ($69.7 million).
The Ho Chi Minh Highway is an important national road link, having major significance for the economy, national defense and security, and poverty reduction.
Passing through 28 cities and provinces from Pac Bo in the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang to Dat Mui in the southernmost province of Ca Mau, the highway project is estimated to receive total investment of VND99.2 trillion ($4.23 billion).
