Nhan Dan Online – The Japanese Government has agreed to provide JPY86.4 billion (US$851.5 million) in official development assistance to help Vietnam implement four infrastructure projects.


A contract to this effect was signed in Tokyo yesterday between the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and representatives from the Vietnamese Government.


The four projects are the Da Nang-Quang Ngai Highway project, to which JPY30 billion has been allocated, the Ho Chi Minh City-Dau Giay Highway project (JPY18.4 billion), the Lach Huyen Port construction project (JPY21 billion) and the Tan Vu-Lach Huyen Road project (JPY16.9 billion).


The Da Nang-Quang Ngai Highway, part of the North-South Highway project, is one of the Central Region’s arterial routes, connecting Vietnam with the East-West Economic Corridor. The highway is scheduled to open in July 2017.


The expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City-Dau Giay Highway, another portion of the North-South Highway, is expected to improve traffic efficiency in the south by connecting industrial zones to the region’s airports and seaports. The project will be completed in July 2016.


Lach Huyen Port, located in the eastern part of Hai Phong, is to be a deep-water port capable of receiving vessels with high tonnage ratings. The port is expected to be put into operation in December 2017.


The Tan Vu-Lach Huyen Road will connect developing areas in eastern Hai Phong with the Dinh Vu industrial zone and the Hanoi-Hai Phong Highway when it opens to traffic in early 2017.
