In Tuy Phong district, one section of the Cam Lam – Vinh Hao section, managed by Binh Thuan Irrigation Engineering Construction Company Limited, was damaged due to the transportation of construction materials. Currently, the contractor is carrying out repairs and patching during use, and it is expected to be returned to the managing unit by the end of the first quarter of 2024.

The two Project Management Boards, Project Management Unit 7 and Thang Long Management Board, have also promised the province that they will urge contractors to accelerate the progress, but to date, many sections and routes remain uncompleted or are being constructed at a very slow pace…
