In the first quarter of 2026, Ring Road 2.5 section Dam Hong - National Highway 1A will be completed
The project to build the Ring Road 2.5, Dam Hong - National Highway 1A section, is invested in the form of a BT (build - transfer) contract with a length of 1.3km, with a total investment of more than 1,300 billion VND.
The project started in 2014 and was expected to be completed in 2017 but was behind schedule.
In 2020, the project was temporarily suspended when it had only reached about 40% of the workload. The reason is that the contract implementation period has not been extended, and the adjusted feasibility study report has not been approved.
By May 2025, the project was restarted. To date, the total volume of the entire route has reached more than 70%. It is expected that the project will be completed and put into use in the first quarter of 2026.
