The Prime Minister also commended and requested the two provinces of Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh to continue to pay attention, join hands with ministries to inspect, urge and support contractors, not leave contractors alone at construction sites, and localities to do the work within their authority such as environmental issues, screening contractors and mobilizing forces such as the army, police, youth and women to do the possible work.
Regarding the contractors' recommendations, the Prime Minister directed localities to focus on resolving difficulties and completing site clearance as soon as possible; the Ministry of Transport will invest in completing 2 tunnels with all 3 tunnels on the route to ensure synchronization with bridge and road items on the route and ensure safety when put into operation; review and apply reward and penalty mechanisms for contractors according to regulations, not allowing contractors who violate or bid to participate in new projects, and for units that perform well, they can appoint contractors according to the law and reduce costs, as long as they are not negative or corrupt... At the same time, the Ministry of Transport will preside over and coordinate with the Ministry of Construction to amend and immediately issue new construction standards suitable for the North-South expressway project when the situation changes.
