The Ministry of Transport has just issued Document No. 11000/TTr – BGTVT requesting the Prime Minister to consider and approve the Pre-Feasibility Study Report on the Investment Project to build and expand the North-South Expressway in the East, Cam Lo – La Son section.

This is the second time since June 2024 that the Ministry of Transport has submitted to competent authorities for approval of the investment policy for the North-South Expressway expansion project in the East, Cam Lo - La Son section, after receiving and finalizing opinions from relevant ministries and local branches.

In Document No. 11000, the Ministry of Transport proposed the North-South Expressway Construction and Expansion Project in the East, Cam Lo - La Son section, with the starting point coinciding with the end point of the Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway Project in Cam Hieu Commune, Cam Lo District, Quang Tri Province; the end point coinciding with the starting point of the La Son - Hoa Lien Project in Loc Bon Commune, Phu Loc District, Thua Thien Hue Province.

The project route length is approximately 98.35 km, of which the section through Quang Tri province is approximately 36.3 km long; the section through Thua Thien Hue province is approximately 62.05 km long.

The project will expand the cross-section of Cam Lo – La Son Expressway from 2 lanes to 4 lanes, the roadbed width from 12m to 22m, the road surface width from 11m to 20.5m. For the sections with 23.25m roadbed investment, the cross-section will be restructured to expand the emergency parking strip.

Bridge projects on the route will maintain the invested bridges with a scale of 4 lanes; expand the remaining bridges to ensure a scale of 4 lanes, with bridge width suitable to the roadbed width.

In addition, the Project also invests in completing two intersections with Provincial Road 16 and Provincial Road 12B in the form of interconnected different levels, ensuring synchronous and safe exploitation; invests in intelligent traffic systems, toll stations, vehicle load inspection stations and the Cam Lo - La Son route management and operation center.

The total land area occupied by the Project is about 29.05 hectares, including 0.57 hectares of traffic land; 1.65 hectares of residential land; 24.36 hectares of agricultural land (crop land); 0.11 hectares of cemetery land; 2.36 hectares of mixed urban public service land and development reserve land.

The preliminary total investment of the Project is about 6,488 billion VND, of which construction and equipment costs are 5,078 billion VND; compensation, support and resettlement costs are 84 billion VND; project management, consulting and other costs are 406 billion VND; contingency costs are 920 billion VND.

Based on the necessity, urgency, and investment efficiency, to ensure successful implementation and early completion of the expansion of the Cam Lo - La Son expressway section, the Ministry of Transport proposed implementing the project in the form of public investment. After completion, a plan will be developed to recover state capital.

The Project investment fund is mobilized from the general reserve fund of the Central budget's medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021 - 2025 corresponding to the increased revenue of the Central budget in 2023 approved by the National Assembly in Resolution 142/2024/QH15 dated June 29, 2024, which is VND 5,488 billion; the capital source of the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026 - 2030 is VND 1,000 billion.

If approved by competent authorities, the Project will prepare for investment in 2024 and be basically completed in 2025.
