A range of modern machinery has been mobilized to ensure that the crushed stone base layer construction phase meets the planned schedule.

Phase 1 of the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway project has a total length of over 188 km, passing through An Giang and Can Tho provinces. This is a key national infrastructure project, expected to create a strong impetus for socio -economic development in the Mekong Delta region.

The laying of the crushed stone base marks a significant milestone, confirming that the project's construction progress is on schedule after months of focusing on land clearance and addressing weak soil conditions.

“From now until November 20th, the Truong Son contractor will complete the four-layer crushed stone base course from the intersection of National Highway 91 to Km2+00, including the connecting branches N1 and N2 with National Highway 91. It is expected that on November 25th, asphalt paving will begin on this 2 km section and the connecting branches N1 and N2 with National Highway 91, as committed to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee,” Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Dai stated. According to Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Dai, it is expected that on December 19th, the Truong Son contractor will open the two connecting branches N1 and N2 with National Highway 91 and the 2 km asphalt paving from the intersection of National Highway 91 to Km2+00.
