This project has a total value of about 80 billion VND, started construction on January 11, 2025, and is expected to be completed in 2025. To ensure the project is completed on schedule, comrade Nguyen Van De requested the localities where the project is implemented, Son Thanh and Nghi Van communes, to promptly complete the site clearance work, ensuring the handover of clean land to the construction unit as soon as possible.

On the contractor's side, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that there must be a flexible and scientific construction plan, mobilizing enough human resources and equipment to work overtime to compensate for the slow progress. Prioritize the construction of items with available land; proactively divide the construction into sections so as not to passively wait for land for the entire route. At the same time, there must be a temporary construction plan during the peak agricultural production period to ensure people's production and avoid construction delays.
