Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has requested that relevant ministries, agencies, and localities speed up preparations to kick off construction of three East-West Highways connecting socio-economic regions and also Ring Roads in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City before June 30, according to the Office of the Government.
The call was part of the conclusion from the Prime Minister at a recent meeting of the Steering Committee for Key National Transport Projects, held to identify solutions to address difficulties and obstacles facing important works.
Key transport projects account for a major proportion of public investment during the 2021-2025 period and are being implemented nationwide, with the North-South and East-West Expressway networks, for example.
During this term, the State will allocate around VND400 trillion ($16.8 billion) to transport development, or 50 per cent of total public investment.
The government leader urged them to quickly complete site clearance tasks to ensure the clearing of at least 70 per cent of the ground needed to begin construction of the projects, which include the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau, and Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot Highways, Ring Road No. 4 in Hanoi, and Ring Road No. 3 in Ho Chi Minh City.
