The Government Office issued Notice No. 682/TB-VPCP dated December 11, 2025, summarizing the conclusions of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh - Head of the Steering Committee - at the 22nd meeting of the State Steering Committee for important national and key projects in the transport sector.
The announcement stated: In 2025, the Steering Committee held 7 meetings, and the Prime Minister , Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, and leaders of ministries and localities regularly and periodically monitored and inspected the projects, resolving many difficulties and obstacles related to key transportation projects and accelerating their implementation progress.
Many projects under the Steering Committee, such as component projects of the North-South Expressway project and the Tan Son Nhat T3 passenger terminal, have been completed ahead of schedule, contributing to socio-economic development and the target of over 8% growth in 2025.
According to a report by the Ministry of Construction, by December 19, 2025, 3,188km of expressways will be completed and opened for technical traffic; 1,700km of coastal roads will be completed; and phase 1 of Long Thanh International Airport will be completed, aiming to serve technical flights.
With these results, the objectives for boosting investment in transportation infrastructure set out in the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party have been basically achieved.
The completion of key transportation projects will create new added value for land, new development spaces, reduce travel time and transportation costs, reduce input costs for products, increase the competitiveness of goods, reduce logistics costs, and facilitate travel for people and businesses, especially during the 2026 New Year and the Lunar New Year of the Horse.
Therefore, it is necessary for the managing agencies to continue to build on the achievements already made, to make greater efforts, and to be more determined in implementing tasks to ensure the projects are completed on schedule.
Strive to complete projects on schedule.
The Prime Minister noted that in the context of October and November, with storms upon storms, floods upon floods, and heavy rains exceeding the peaks of the past several decades, localities, ministries, and sectors, especially project management boards, investors, contractors, and consultants, have remained committed to the projects, maintaining their determination with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, conquering the rain, not losing to the storms," working "3 shifts, 4 teams," "working throughout Tet and holidays," "working day and night when it's not enough," and "working day and night, taking advantage of holidays to work extra."
On behalf of the Government, the Prime Minister, Head of the Steering Committee, warmly commends the spirit of the investors, contractors, consultants, and workers on the construction site, and thanks the people in the project area for their support, protection, and assistance in overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, and for readily giving up their homes and stable production and business locations that had existed for hundreds of years to hand over the land for the projects.
With only 10 days remaining until December 19, 2025, many projects and works still have a large volume of work to be completed. Therefore, it is essential for the managing agencies to continue building on the achievements already made, to make even greater efforts, and to be more determined in implementing tasks to ensure the projects are completed on schedule.
Strengthen inspection and supervision, and combat corruption, negative practices, and waste. Accelerate implementation progress but always prioritize quality management; quality must not be compromised for the sake of speed. Attention must be paid to ensuring labor safety, and national projects must be "green," "clean," "beautiful," and "environmentally hygienic."
At the same time, we must continue to take care of the lives of the people, especially those who have given up their land for project implementation, ensuring that their new homes are better than or equal to their old homes, and preventing any complaints or grievances.
The Prime Minister noted that in order to achieve the goal of putting into operation 3,188km of expressways, approximately 1,700km of coastal roads, and basically completing phase 1 of Long Thanh International Airport, although agencies have made efforts in the past, there must be absolutely no complacency in the remaining time.
The Prime Minister requested that ministries, departments, localities, and members of the Steering Committee continue to improve and act more decisively to successfully complete this particularly important political task.
The Prime Minister also requested each Ministry, sector, locality, each official, civil servant, worker, investor, and consulting unit to actively innovate their thinking and working methods, overcome difficulties, especially weather conditions; mobilize all resources, equipment, and machinery to accelerate the progress and completion of projects under the list of 3,188km of expressways, 1,700km of coastal roads, and basically complete phase 1 of Long Thanh International Airport; review and complete all procedures according to regulations to successfully organize the inauguration ceremony of the projects on December 19, 2025, in accordance with the Prime Minister's directive.
The Ministry of National Defence, upholding the spirit of "Uncle Ho's soldiers, the people's army," directed military regions to provide vehicles, equipment, and personnel to contractors with the goal of combining national defence tasks, combat training tasks, civilian support tasks, and production tasks to ensure the timely completion of the 3,188km expressway projects.
Project Management Boards and contractors should promote a spirit of mutual support and assistance; units that have completed their tasks should support those that have not yet completed their tasks according to the above objectives.
Local authorities are mobilizing the Fatherland Front, youth forces, and other organizations to continue participating in the common goal of ensuring the completion and opening of the 3,188 km of expressway projects in 2025 as planned.
Long Thanh International Airport is scheduled to begin commercial operations in early 2026.
Regarding the first phase of the Long Thanh International Airport project, the Prime Minister affirmed that this is a project of đặc biệt importance, receiving the attention and guidance of the General Secretary, the leaders of the National Assembly, and the Government.
With very little time remaining to prepare for December 19, 2025, and a large volume of work still to be done, ministries, agencies, and governing bodies, especially the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), are required to urgently review the remaining tasks and focus even more on ensuring the basic completion of construction items at Long Thanh International Airport, organizing the inauguration ceremony for the projects and launching the first flight at Long Thanh International Airport.
The Vietnam Airports Corporation needs to specifically identify the tasks requiring support in order to coordinate with Military Region 7 to mobilize military forces to assist in some "rapid" construction items, ensuring completion by December 19, 2025; and at the same time, be accountable to the Party, the Government, the Prime Minister, and the People for the progress of the Project.
Alongside the technical preparations for the flight, it is necessary to continue completing the remaining items, paying attention to the surrounding landscape and connecting roads... ensuring that all standards, conditions, and procedures are fully met according to regulations to organize commercial operation in early 2026.
ACV, in coordination with Military Region 7, the Engineering Command, and the Ministry of Construction, is focusing all its resources on this project.
Regarding preparations for the groundbreaking, inauguration, and technical opening ceremonies of projects on December 19, 2025, to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Prime Minister requested localities to continue reviewing projects, registering additional projects; to be responsible for ensuring full compliance with regulations, procedures, and conditions for inauguration and groundbreaking ceremonies according to the law; and to make the best preparations at all locations to serve the groundbreaking, inauguration, and technical opening ceremonies of the projects.
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are reviewing and selecting significant locations to serve as venues for inviting Party and State leaders to participate in the ceremony.
The Ministry of Construction continues to preside over and coordinate with the Government Office, relevant ministries, sectors, and localities to compile a list of projects and works; and coordinate with Vietnam Television, Viettel, and VNPT to prepare the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremonies, ensuring they are solemn, safe, and economical.
Vietnam Television (VTV) will immediately implement the tasks assigned in Official Dispatch No. 253/CĐ-TTg dated December 1, 2025, to produce a documentary film summarizing the investment and construction process of infrastructure for the entire period of 2021-2025, contributing to creating momentum and a spirit of emulation to achieve accomplishments in chào mừng the 14th National Party Congress, especially for projects and works to be inaugurated or commenced on December 19, 2025.
Contract bonuses are awarded to contractors who complete projects ahead of schedule.
Ministries, sectors, investors, and project management boards shall review and propose awards for individuals and collectives, especially cadres and workers on construction sites who have actively and diligently implemented assigned tasks according to regulations, particularly for projects completed and put into operation ahead of schedule, with quality, safety, and efficiency, contributing to the achievement of the goals of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. These proposals shall be submitted to the Ministry of Interior for consideration and presentation to the competent authority for awarding on December 19, 2025.
The Ministry of Interior is urgently reviewing the nominations for awards, ensuring compliance with regulations, but also expediting the process to ensure the awards can be presented on December 19, 2025.
The Ministry of Finance, in coordination with local authorities and the Ministry of Construction, will implement contract bonuses for contractors who complete projects ahead of schedule, in accordance with the provisions of Government Decree 15/2023/ND-CP dated April 25, 2023.../.
