Previously, Quang Ngai voters proposed to soon invest in upgrading the administrative Center road from Son Tay district to Ta Meo connecting Kon Plong (which was unanimously identified and proposed by the leaders of Quang Ngai and Kon Tum provinces to the Ministry of Transport to upgrade to National Highway 24D).
Responding to this issue, the Ministry of Transport said that according to the Road Network Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 (Decision No. 1454/QD-TTg dated September 1, 2021 of the Prime Minister), National Highway 24D is 124km long, level III - IV scale, 2 - 4 lanes, of which the section through Quang Ngai province is 42km long.
Clause 4, Section III of Decision No. 1454/QD-TTg stipulates that "Local roads planned to become national highways in this decision will only be upgraded to national highways after investment ensures the scale meets technical standards according to the planning and is not lower than the scale of a level IV road, 2 lanes".
The route from Son Tay District Administrative Center to Ta Meo connecting Kon Plong, according to voters' recommendations, is currently provincial road 623, and is expected to be converted into National Highway 24D.
Therefore, the Ministry of Transport requests the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province to base on the provisions in Clause 4, Section III of Decision No. 1454/QD-TTg mentioned above to deploy investment in provincial road 623D according to the planning scale as a basis for the Ministry of Transport to upgrade it to National Highway 24D and notify voters about the investment progress.
