In an official dispatch sent to the My Thuan Project Management Board, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh stated that the component project of the Can Tho - Hau Giang section and the Hau Giang - Ca Mau section (commonly known as the Can Tho - Ca Mau expressway) of the North - South expressway in the East has so far resolved difficulties in terms of land and material sources. Therefore, the project completion progress depends entirely on the construction organization of the contractors.

However, up to now, the progress of the Can Tho - Ca Mau expressway project is still slow, not meeting the committed plan, due to a number of main reasons.

That is because the senior leaders of some units have not really paid adequate attention and given strong direction to arrange financial resources and increase machinery and equipment for construction sites.

Construction organization is still fragmented and unscientific; not enough gravel and asphalt concrete production lines have been mobilized to organize the construction of the foundation and road surface, leading to continued accumulation of volume from previous months.

Some units have not yet allocated enough financial resources to gather all materials at the construction site; and have not seriously implemented the instructions of the Ministry of Construction in organizing construction.

According to the Minister of Construction, if the current construction status continues without any changes or breakthroughs in the near future, the project will not be completed as planned.

To complete and put into operation the main route of the Can Tho - Ca Mau expressway project on December 19, 2025 as directed by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Construction requested the leaders of the My Thuan Project Management Board, contractors and consultants to identify this as a top political task.

From there, the head of the Ministry of Construction requested the My Thuan Project Management Board to strictly implement the instructions of the Ministry of Construction in organizing construction to ensure the completion of the main route of the project and put it into operation on December 19, 2025, and take full responsibility before the minister for the progress and quality of the project.

My Thuan Project Management Board coordinates with the competent authorities of the provinces and cities of Can Tho, An Giang, and Ca Mau to accelerate site clearance and handover of the traffic monitoring and control system for the project in October 2025; periodically announce material prices, machine shift prices, and construction price indexes to promptly adjust contract prices.

My Thuan Project Management Board based on the remaining volume, contractor commitments and implementation plan to rebuild the detailed progress of each item by day and week of each contractor, along with the need for machinery, equipment and human resources, to ensure completion and put the main line of the project into operation on December 19, 2025.

The Minister of Construction requested construction contractors to arrange adequate means of transportation and material storage areas to bring all crushed stone and asphalt concrete mixes to the construction site according to plan to organize the construction of the foundation, foundation, and road surface immediately after unloading...

The Minister of Construction assigned the Department of Economics - Construction Investment Management to assign leaders in charge of the Can Tho - Ca Mau Expressway project to regularly monitor the site to assess the implementation status, promptly handle any problems arising during the implementation process; and proactively request the My Thuan Project Management Board to handle contractors behind schedule.
