For the main route, in March 2025, the loading work will be basically completed and the first section will begin unloading. From here, contractors will carry out the construction of the road surface structure in parallel with the unloading of the sections. By December 31, the entire main route will be completed.

The pilot section from Km58+200 - Km58+600 belongs to the Hau Giang - Ca Mau component project. Of which, 200m of the route does not have a forced loading pilot to serve as a comparison section.

Through actual inspection, My Thuan Project Management Board requested contractors to urgently mobilize enough crushed stone aggregate to the construction site before June 30 to proactively provide materials, increase equipment, machinery, and workers to ensure compliance with the approved construction plan.
