Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh directed to take advantage of the victory and shorten the construction time.
Inspecting the actual construction, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that as planned, the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway project phase 1, passing through An Giang province, will open to traffic in June 2026. However, with the current construction progress exceeding the plan, we must continue to accelerate, shorten the construction time, and strive to complete it earlier than planned.

Currently, the problem of site clearance, sand and stone materials of the province has been resolved. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested the contractor to speed up the progress, increase the work "3 shifts, 4 shifts", "working during the day is not enough, take advantage of working at night", work through holidays, Tet, overcome the sun, overcome the rain, not lose to storms.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested that local leaders regularly inspect and urge the acceleration of construction. At the same time, mobilize youth and women to go to the construction site to encourage workers to work enthusiastically and ensure progress.
The Prime Minister requested that all parties make efforts to speed up the progress, "take advantage of the victory", aiming to complete the project in December 2025, trying to shorten the time but ensuring quality and safe construction.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested units to be determined to put the project into operation this year, nearly 6 months ahead of schedule. The head of the Government compared the construction site to a battlefield, contractors to soldiers, requiring the entire political system to participate.
The Prime Minister also requested Military Region 9, the army and the police to coordinate and be ready to take on tasks within their capabilities to speed up progress. If this expressway opens to traffic soon, it will create new development space, increase land value, connect important traffic junctions and promote the socio-economic development of the entire region.
