The official dispatch stated that the 13th National Party Congress set a target of completing 5,000 km of expressways by 2030. The Prime Minister launched a 500-day emulation campaign to complete 3,000 km of expressways by 2025; and established 7 inspection teams to review and resolve difficulties and obstacles related to key transport projects planned for completion in 2025 to achieve the 3,000 km expressway target. Following the inspection, the Deputy Prime Ministers issued specific directives, the Standing Committee of the Government concluded and directed; and the projects have shown more positive progress.

However, according to a report by the Ministry of Construction , some localities are still slow in implementing compensation, resettlement support, relocation of technical infrastructure, and granting permits for construction material quarries as required by the Prime Minister, affecting the progress of projects.

To boost public investment, contribute to growth exceeding 8% in 2025, and ensure the timely completion of projects, the Prime Minister requested provinces with significant remaining land clearance issues, such as Dong Nai (Bien Hoa - Vung Tau), Khanh Hoa (Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot), Lang Son (Huu Nghi - Chi Lang), Binh Duong (Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3), and Quang Tri (Van Ninh - Cam Lo), to mobilize the entire political system to complete all land clearance work before April 30, 2025, without delay.
