Construction is being rushed on the La Son - Hoa Lien expressway upgrade project.

TPO - With the rainy and stormy season approaching, the Ho Chi Minh Highway Project Management Board has directed contractors to increase manpower and equipment to "race against time" and accelerate construction on the La Son - Hoa Lien section of the expressway expansion project passing through Hue City and Da Nang.

The project to expand the eastern section of the North-South Expressway from La Son to Hoa Lien is one of the key components of the eastern North-South Expressway, aiming to gradually improve the transportation infrastructure in the Central region, meet transportation needs, and alleviate congestion on National Highway 1.

The project is managed by the Ho Chi Minh Highway Project Management Board. This expressway is approximately 65km long, with 4 lanes, a road surface widened to 22m, and a design speed of 60-80km/h according to expressway standards. The project passes through two localities: Hue City and Da Nang, with a total investment of over 3,010 billion VND from the State budget; the majority of which is allocated to construction and related technical infrastructure works...

The project commenced in Hue City on May 29th, with a construction period of 240 days.

The main contract package XL01 - construction of the La Son - Hoa Lien section - has a contract value of over 2,700 billion VND.

According to the plan, the project must be completed by early 2026. Representatives from the Ho Chi Minh Highway Project Management Board stated that, to date, land clearance along the route has basically met the requirements for a 4-lane road from the previous La Son - Tuy Loan project; currently, only additional land clearance is needed for some local roads and canal extensions.

Notably, along the entire project route, 50 bridges have been expanded with the addition of new sections, combining them with existing sections.
