According to a report from the joint venture of Construction and Investment Company Limited and Khanh Anh Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company, the Le Duan road project, section 3, has only completed approximately 85% of the construction volume to date.

There are still outstanding issues regarding land clearance involving one household and one high-voltage power pole on the right side of the route.

Proposal to speed up progress

It is known that the Le Duan road project consists of 4 sections: Section 1, starting from Hung Vuong Boulevard and ending at the intersection with the six-way junction (To Huu - Le Duan intersection), is approximately 1km long and was invested in and put into use in 2003. Section 2, starting from To Huu Street to the intersection with Nguyen Luong Bang Street, is approximately 1km long and was invested in and put into use in 2006. Section 3 was prepared for investment procedures in 2006, but due to funding difficulties, construction only began in July 2024. Section 4, approximately 4km long, passes through Bac Cam Ranh ward, starting from the intersection with Le Loi Street and ending at the intersection with Nguyen Cong Tru Street, with a total investment of over 500 billion VND (not yet invested). The People's Committee of the former Cam Ranh City proposed the investment plan according to the content of the revised General Planning Project of Cam Ranh City. Cam Ranh by 2045.

Section 3 of Le Duan Street is still in a state of disarray.

Mr. Lu Ngoc Trung, Chairman of the Cam Ranh Ward People's Committee, stated that Le Duan Street is a vital transportation artery running parallel to National Highway 1. Besides relieving congestion on National Highway 1, this road plays a crucial role in connecting the newly planned Cam Lam urban area to Cam Ranh Port and the North-South railway line, leading to the southern economic center of the province. Once operational, the road will contribute to completing the urban transportation network, boosting land values ​​along the route, creating new development opportunities, and promoting socio-economic development in the localities. Therefore, the early completion and commissioning of section 3 of Le Duan Street is of paramount importance. After the two levels of local government came into operation, the People's Committee of Cam Ranh ward directed the Department of Economy, Infrastructure and Urban Development to inspect the progress of the project and sent a document requesting the Provincial Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Agricultural and Transportation Projects to review the progress and require the construction unit to mobilize maximum machinery, equipment, and personnel to complete the project as soon as possible according to the contract.
