Localities must quickly resolve remaining problems in site clearance and complete procedures to put stone quarries into operation to serve the project's construction. Construction contractors are focusing all resources to speed up the construction progress.
Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh requested the provinces not to sit and wait for the contractor to report, but to go to the site to help the contractor complete the procedures. Four localities must completely handle the problem of material yards and mines in March.
