Two sections of the North-South Expressway project, which run through the central province of Ha Tinh, were officially put into operation on April 28.

The Bai Vot - Ham Nghi section has a total length of 35.28 km, with a total investment capital estimated at over VND7.6 trillion ($301 million). Its construction started in May 2021.

Meanwhile, the Ham Nghi - Vung Ang section has a total length of over 54.2 km, with a total investment capital estimated at more than VND9.7 trillion ($382 million).

They were technically open to traffic on April 19.

Both expressway sections have four lanes with a roadbed width of 17m, allowing a maximum speed of 90 kph.

These two major transport projects are expected to contribute to boosting socio-economic development for the north-central region.
