A representative of Project Management Board 6 ( Ministry of Construction ) said that the Vung Ang-Bung expressway section was officially put into operation from 8:00 a.m. on August 28. Before the opening, contractors and supervision consultants had inspected the entire route, removed obstacles, and ensured safety for people and vehicles.

In addition, the State Inspection Council for Construction Acceptance has inspected and evaluated the quality of project items. The results show that the basic items meet technical and safety requirements for operation.

The Vung Ang-Bung expressway project is 55.34km long, of which the section through Ha Tinh is 12.9km long, the section through Quang Tri is 42.44km long, starting in January 2023 with a total investment of 12,548 billion VND. The route starts at Ky Hoa commune (Ha Tinh), ends at Bo Trach commune (Quang Tri), connecting with the Bung-Van Ninh expressway project.

There are two interchanges on the route: Tien Chau-Van Hoa (Km 597+900) and National Highway 12A (Km 605+500). The exploitation of this expressway contributes to shortening the journey from Hanoi to Quang Tri, facilitating trade in the North Central region, and promoting socio -economic development in the region.
