(VOV) -A ground-breaking ceremony was held in Quang Ngai province on November 24 for a 140-km expressway linking Danang city and Quang Ngai in the central region.
- Danang-Quang Ngai expressway construction gets underway
- WB funds Da Nang – Quang Ngai expressway
- JICA aids Vietnam’s expressway construction
The project will be built at a total cost of US$1.475 billion in official development assistance (ODA) sourced from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the World Bank (WB), and the Vietnamese Government.
Once completed in 2017, the four-lane expressway will enable vehicles to travel at a design speed of 120km/h.
The road will play a key role in connecting large economic centres in Danang to Chu Lai economic zone (EZ) in Quang Nam, Dung Quat EZ in Quang Ngai, Nhon Hoi EZ in Binh Dinh, and the East West Economic Corridor.
The route is also expected to help reduce traffic congestion and fuel economic development in the central region.
Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc urged investors and bidders to work closely with local authorities to ensure the project runs to schedule in a safe and efficient manner.
He also asked local authorities to create favourable conditions for displaced residents to stabilize their lives in the new resettlement areas.
