Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee, Pham Anh Tuan, emphasized: The Resolution of the First Gia Lai Provincial Party Congress sets the goal of building Gia Lai into a moderately developed province in the country by 2026-2030. To achieve this goal, the province focuses on developing a synchronous and modern infrastructure; in which: inter-regional connectivity, digital infrastructure, and logistics are identified as one of the three strategic breakthroughs, playing a key role in creating a foundation and driving force for rapid and sustainable socio -economic development. The investment in key infrastructure projects of the province is implemented within the overall vision and orientation of national development.

Investing in the construction of the Quy Nhon – Pleiku expressway is an objective, urgent, and necessary requirement. The project has a length of approximately 125 km, a scale of 4 lanes, a design speed of 100 km/h, and a total investment of over 43,700 billion VND, divided into 3 component projects.

Upon completion, the project will shorten travel time from Quy Nhon to Pleiku to 1.5 to 2 hours, reduce transportation costs by 40-50%, improve regional connectivity, and address safety risks on the An Khe and Mang Yang passes. It will also form a strategic East-West transportation axis, connecting with the North-South expressway, airports, seaports, and the Le Thanh international border gate, creating an important logistics corridor from the East Sea to Northeast Cambodia and Southern Laos.

“Today’s groundbreaking ceremony not only marks the beginning of a modern transportation project with long-term strategic significance, but also demonstrates the determination and aspirations for development of the Party Committee, government, and people of all ethnic groups in Gia Lai province, making a practical contribution to celebrating the 14th National Congress of the Party,” emphasized Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Pham Anh Tuan.
