Currently, the entire route is still stuck with about 6.3km of site clearance. In which, the power line system, water pipes, many electric poles have not been relocated...

Nearly 1km of the first section of the route through Luong Son intersection has not been handed over the site, causing the contractor to not be able to construct the main route and bridge.

Mr. Cuong added: "To basically complete the project in 2025, Project Management Board 5 has proposed that Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee direct relevant units to promptly complete the procedures and hand over the site to the project before August 15".

The Ministry of Construction also warned of risks for the project if the locality does not complete the handover of the site in August 2025 for construction.
