Roadmap for completing 12 component projects of the North-South Expressway in 2025.

There are three completion milestones for the 12 component projects of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section) in the 2021-2025 period, scheduled for 2025: April 30th; September 2nd; and December 31st, 2025.

Construction of the Tuy An tunnel is underway as part of the Chi Thanh - Van Phong expressway component project.

This information was released by the Ministry of Transport in its Report summarizing the work of 2024 and outlining key tasks for 2025. The report will be published by the Ministry of Transport at the Conference summarizing the work of 2024 and outlining key tasks for 2025 of the transport sector, scheduled to take place this afternoon, December 30th.

Accordingly, in 2025, the Ministry of Transport aims to accelerate progress and ensure quality to complete the component projects of the North-South East Expressway construction investment project giai đoạn 2021-2025 and other expressway projects, contributing to achieving the national goal of putting 3,000 km of expressways into operation by the end of 2025.

The Ministry of Transport will also accelerate the investment preparation process to commence construction on projects such as: the upgrading and expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong - My Thuan, Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh, Cam Lo - La Son, and La Son - Tuy Loan expressways; the Cho Moi - Bac Kan expressway; and the My An - Cao Lanh expressway (phase 1)... right in the first and second quarters of 2025.

For the 12 component projects of the North-South Expressway Eastern section investment project in the 2021-2025 period, it is expected that three groups of component projects will be completed sequentially according to three milestones associated with important national holidays: April 30th; September 2nd; and December 31st, 2025.

Specifically, there are four component projects of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section) expected to be completed by April 30, 2025, including: Bai Vot - Ham Nghi (35.28 km, invested by Thang Long Project Management Board); Ham Nghi - Vung Ang (54.2 km, invested by Thang Long Project Management Board); and Bung - Van Ninh (49 km, invested by Project Management Board 6).

There are 5 component projects of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section) expected to be completed by September 2nd, 2025, including: Vung Ang - Bung (55 km, invested by Project Management Board 6); Van Ninh - Cam Lo (invested by Ho Chi Minh Highway Project Management Board); Hoai Nhon - Quy Nhon (70 km, invested by Project Management Board 85); Quy Nhon - Chi Thanh (61.7 km, invested by Project Management Board 85); and Chi Thanh - Van Phong (48 km, invested by Project Management Board 7).

There are three component projects of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section) expected to be completed before December 31, 2025, including: Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon (88 km, invested by Project Management Board 2); Can Tho - Hau Giang (37.65 km, invested by My Thuan Project Management Board); and Hau Giang - Ca Mau (37.65 km, also invested by My Thuan Project Management Board).

According to the Construction Investment Management Department (Ministry of Transport), in addition to projects that are likely to be completed, or even ahead of schedule, there are still 8 projects/281 km (3 projects/123 km under the Ministry of Transport; 5 projects/158 km under local authorities) that need to focus on resolving difficulties related to land clearance, construction material sources, and organizing construction in 3 shifts and 4 teams in order to be completed on schedule.

In the Mekong Delta region, where five key transportation projects and the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project are being implemented, meeting the total demand for embankment sand of approximately 65.3 million cubic meters is a major bottleneck, affecting the ability to complete them according to schedule.

Although localities have mobilized the maximum number of mines in their areas to supply projects according to assigned targets, licensing procedures are still slow and mining capacity has not yet met the required progress of the projects.

Currently, the average production capacity of mines under operation, based on environmental impact assessments, is 76,131 m3/day, while that of mines undergoing procedures is 68,894 m3/day. If all mines that have submitted applications are fully processed by December 2024, the total production capacity will only reach 145,025 m3/day, while the required capacity to meet project completion deadlines is 239,046 m3/day, leaving a shortfall of 94,021 m3/day.

"To ensure sufficient capacity to meet project construction schedules, maximizing the mobilization of sand resources from mines in the region (including sea sand) as well as available sand on the market is an extremely urgent requirement," a leader of the Ministry of Transport said.
