Therefore, it is proposed to consider investing in the connecting section with a scale of 4 lanes.
In response to the opinions of National Assembly Deputies, the Government adjusted the draft Resolution towards synchronous investment of the entire project on a complete 4-lane scale.
According to Mr. Vu Hong Thanh, many delegates said that the project completion schedule in 2026 is not feasible, and suggested studying and adjusting the project completion time.
