Accordingly, on May 30, 2012, Mr. Cao Khoa, Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee (at that time), signed Decision No. 793/QD-UBND on approving the investment project to build the road on the South bank of Tra Khuc River.
Billion-dollar road along Tra Khuc river
The project has a total investment of over 999 billion VND from the state budget (construction cost 747 billion VND), with the Quang Ngai Department of Transport as the investor. The project implementation period is from 2012 to 2015.
The route is designed according to the standards of a secondary urban main street, running along the southern bank of the Tra Khuc River, with a length of more than 8.7km, a 36m wide roadbed, and a 22m wide asphalt concrete road surface.
The starting point of the route is adjacent to the National Highway 1 bypass through Quang Ngai City at Km 1,057, the end point is adjacent to the traffic junction leading to Co Luy Bridge.
The project is constructed by Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company; the construction supervision consultant is a joint venture between Duc Phuong Construction and Trading Company Limited and VHK Company Limited (all 3 companies are in Vinh Phuc province).
When investing in the project, the goal set by the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province for this project is to gradually complete the traffic network of Quang Ngai city.
The route becomes the driving force for the urban development of Quang Ngai city towards the sea, contributing to making Quang Ngai city a type II urban area.
In addition, the investment in the road also acts as a dike to protect the city during the rainy season, creating a spacious park landscape along the road for people to relax.
This project is a key project to welcome the Quang Ngai Provincial Party Congress 2015 - 2020.

The driving force for Quang Ngai City's development towards the sea
The project was put into use in 2016. Since its use, the road on the southern bank of Tra Khuc River (now named Truong Sa Street) combined with Hoang Sa Street on the northern bank of Tra Khuc River has created the most beautiful road in the province.
Not only connecting traffic to the east, the route also becomes a driving force for economic, tourism and service development when connecting the center of Quang Ngai city with My Khe beach, Ly Son island and many of the most beautiful landscapes and scenic spots in Quang Ngai province.
Along with that, the project becomes a driving force to attract investors to develop urban areas, tourism, and land funds.
Many people compare Hoang Sa and Truong Sa roads to two arms spreading out to embrace Tra Khuc River. People in the east of Quang Ngai City benefit greatly from this project. The urbanization rate in Nghia Dong, Nghia Dung, Nghia Ha, Nghia Phu, and Nghia An communes has also grown rapidly since Truong Sa road was formed.
Mr. Binh (a resident living on Truong Sa Street) said: "Since the road was put into use, people's travel has been very convenient. Farmers in the province's largest vegetable growing area along the road have benefited the most, and trading has been very easy."
