On August 19, the Ministry of Construction coordinated with the People's Committee of Quang Tri province to organize the inauguration ceremony of the component project of the Van Ninh - Cam Lo section of the North-South Expressway in the East phase 2021-2025.
The inauguration ceremony took place on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and towards National Day on September 2
Started in January 2023, the Van Ninh - Cam Lo expressway is 65.5km long, with a total investment of nearly VND9,920 billion, invested by the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board.
The route starts from Van Ninh commune (now Truong Ninh commune, Quang Tri province), connecting to Bung - Van Ninh expressway at the National Highway 9B intersection. The end section is in Cam Hieu commune (now Hieu Giang commune, Quang Tri province), connecting to Cam Lo - La Son expressway.
The expressway runs almost parallel to the Ho Chi Minh road and has some intersections, where underpasses are being built to ensure traffic safety.
The Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway is designed in phase 1 with 4 lanes, maximum speed of 60-90 km/h.
Mr. Nguyen Dang Quang, Chairman of the People's Council of Quang Tri province, emphasized that the inauguration of the Van Ninh - Cam Lo section not only contributes to the completion of the North - South expressway in the East but also opens up great opportunities for Quang Tri to attract investment and develop tourism.
The project will become an important driving force to promote socio-economic growth, improve people's lives, and at the same time affirm Quang Tri's connecting role on the national transport map.
