Can Tho spends 40 billion VND to relocate power lines affecting highways

To ensure progress for the key Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway project, the People's Committee of Can Tho city and the electricity industry have agreed on a plan to urgently relocate the 220kV line that is causing site clearance problems, setting a completion deadline of before December 31, 2025.

Can Tho spends 40 billion VND to relocate power lines affecting highways.

The total cost of the relocation is estimated at about 40 billion VND. At the meeting between the People's Committee of Can Tho city and the National Power Transmission Corporation on October 13, the parties agreed to apply a mechanism whereby the city will support the costs so that the electricity sector can proactively carry out the relocation. This is the first time this option has been applied to the relocation of the power grid for a highway project nationwide, which is expected to significantly shorten the time and procedures. With the consensus and high determination of the parties, the problems with the power grid infrastructure at the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway project in Can Tho have been basically resolved, paving the way for accelerating the construction progress, bringing the project to the finish line on schedule.
