Of which, the Ministry of Construction and Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) have 17 projects (equivalent to 889 km), and localities have 11 projects (equivalent to 299 km). In addition, there are 2 projects Dong Dang - Tra Linh (Cao Bang province, 93 km long) and Huu Nghi - Chi Lang (Lang Son province, 43 km long) with a plan to complete in 2026, but 2 provinces have registered to strive to open the route before December 31, 2025.

From March 6 to March 14, 2025, 7 working groups led by Deputy Prime Ministers directly inspected construction sites and worked with localities to remove difficulties and obstacles related to the projects.

Through on-site inspections, the inspection teams assessed the ability to complete the projects, which were divided into two groups. Group 1 has 18 projects that are guaranteed to be completed in 2025, including 18 projects implemented by the Ministry of Construction and VEC and 2 projects by localities. These projects basically have no major difficulties or problems, and the implementation progress is closely following the set plan.

Group 2 of projects still facing many difficulties, progress not meeting the set plan includes 10 projects with plans to be completed in 2025 and 2 projects: Huu Nghi - Chi Lang and Dong Dang - Tra Linh with plans to open the route in 2025. After the inspection teams gave instructions, the projects had many positive changes. However, there are still some tasks related to site clearance (GPMB), construction material sources that have not met the requirements to be completed in March 2025.

At the meeting, local representatives raised difficulties and obstacles in the project implementation process and proposed solutions to the Prime Minister.

Presenting his opinion at the meeting, Vice Chairman of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee Truong Cong Thai reported on the existing problems and difficulties related to the plan to complete Component Project 3 of the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot Expressway Project Phase 1.

Specifically, regarding site clearance, Component Project 3 has basically reached 100% and has been handed over to the contractor. There is still a small area outside the main route and it does not affect the construction implementation.

Regarding the material quarry procedures, the conditions are basically met for contractors to exploit for the project; the soil quarry in Ea Kenh commune, Krong Pac district is implementing related procedures. Regarding the relocation of the residential power line and the 500kV power line, it is being implemented and will not affect the construction work of the contractors. The total implementation value is 1,792/4,216 billion VND (reaching 42.52%) of the contract value, 0.22% behind schedule, equivalent to about 9.22 billion VND.

Dak Lak province will resolutely direct relevant units and localities to speed up the implementation progress, determined to complete Component Project 3 by August 30, 2025.

Concluding the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the goal of completing 3,000 km of expressway by 2025 remains unchanged, requiring agencies, units and localities to identify this as an important and top priority task, focusing on directing and operating to ensure the completion of projects on schedule.

For provinces with a large amount of land acquisition and clearance work, the Prime Minister requested the entire political system to be mobilized to complete the land acquisition and clearance work. The Ministry of Construction continues to direct investors and contractors to organize construction in "3 shifts, 4 teams", speeding up the construction progress of projects managed by the Ministry. The Ministry of Finance will take the lead in coordinating with localities to review and arrange capital needs for projects. The Ministry of Industry and Trade will coordinate and support localities to urgently direct relevant units to speed up the relocation of high-voltage power lines...
