To achieve the goal of having over 3,000 km of expressways nationwide by 2025, the Ministry of Construction, localities and the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) are currently implementing 28 projects/component projects with a plan to complete in 2025 with a total length of about 1,188 km, of which the Ministry of Construction and VEC have 17 projects/889 km, and localities have 11 projects/299 km. In addition, the two projects Dong Dang - Tra Linh (Cao Bang province, 93 km long) and Huu Nghi - Chi Lang (Lang Son province, 43 km long) are planned to be completed in 2026 but have been registered by the two provinces to strive to open the route before December 31, 2025.

In recent times, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers have paid attention and spent a lot of time and effort directing ministries and branches to coordinate in removing obstacles related to mechanisms and procedures; directing localities to speed up site clearance (GPMB) and resolve mine licensing procedures; directing investors to speed up progress and pay attention to ensuring project quality.

Up to now, the progress of most projects has been on schedule, many projects have exceeded the plan. However, there are still some projects that are behind schedule, some problems and issues have not been thoroughly resolved, so the Prime Minister has established 07 inspection teams, headed by Deputy Prime Ministers and leaders of ministries, branches and localities as members to directly inspect, direct and remove difficulties.

The inspection teams directly inspected the site, organized work with localities, investors, and contractors; assigned specific tasks to each agency and unit to focus on removing obstacles and promoting project progress. All localities committed to completing the milestones set by the inspection team...

In Quang Binh province, the main snow clearance work has been completed 100% of the main route, but there are still some remaining areas of the service road, the construction area of ​​the project fence in Quang Trach and Le Thuy districts; the additional clearance of the rest stop in Dong Son ward (Dong Hoi city) is publicly announcing the compensation and support plan. Regarding the reserves of material mines in the province to meet the needs of the project...

Speaking at the conference, the Prime Minister emphasized that completing at least 3,000 km of expressways by 2025 is the target according to the Resolution of the 13th National Congress, an important political task that must be completed and the current requirement is to accelerate and make a breakthrough to reach the finish line. He highly appreciated the effectiveness of the 07 working delegations led by Deputy Prime Ministers who have basically resolved difficulties and proposed many solutions for ministries, branches, localities and agencies to implement.

Assessing the reality, the Prime Minister believes that the target of 3,000 km of expressway by the end of 2025 is feasible, but requires all levels, sectors, units and localities not to be subjective but to continue to promote the spirit of attack, speed, breakthrough, and greater determination; clearly assign people, clearly assign tasks, closely follow the progress of the project... Localities continue to mobilize the entire political system to participate, especially to completely complete site clearance and site clearance with flexible application of policies, not to let people suffer, pay attention to the material and spiritual life and livelihoods of the people, ensure that new housing is better than or equal to the old housing, special subjects must have special policies; at the same time, ensure the supply of raw materials for the projects. Contractors continue to promote the construction spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain", "working overtime", "eating quickly, sleeping urgently", "working at night when there is not enough work during the day", "working in 3 shifts, 4 shifts, through holidays and Tet"; ensuring progress, quality, technique, aesthetics, safety, bright green and clean landscape, environmental sanitation; taking care of material and spiritual life, applying bonus policies, ensuring labor regeneration for cadres, workers and laborers at the construction site.

The Prime Minister affirmed that the Government will balance priority capital for projects to be completed in 2025, and at the same time assign the Ministry of Finance to preside over and coordinate with localities to review and allocate sufficient capital for projects, handle them according to authority and report if they exceed authority, to be completed in April 2025.

In particular, the Prime Minister also directed that projects completed ahead of schedule and on schedule should be rewarded according to regulations; there should be sanctions for agencies, units and contractors that do not complete projects on schedule.
