According to the project investor, the unit is urging contractors to speed up progress to complete the expressway in 2023. However, some current bid packages have not kept up with the contract progress, due to the prolonged rainy days in 2023 affecting construction. Meanwhile, 800 billion VND of central budget capital to complete phase 2 of the project in 2023 has not yet been arranged. Photo: Nguyen Tung.
