On August 28, Project Management Board 6 (Ministry of Construction) said that at 8:00 a.m. on the same day, the Vung Ang - Bung expressway will officially be put into operation.
Before the opening of traffic, contractors and supervision consultants have reviewed the entire route, removed obstacles, and ensured safety for people and vehicles.
The State Inspection Council for Construction Acceptance has inspected and evaluated the basic items to meet operational requirements.
The Vung Ang - Bung expressway project is 55.34km long, of which the section through Ha Tinh is 12.9km long, the section through Quang Tri is 42.44km long, and was started in January 2023 with a total investment of VND 12,548 billion. The route starts at Ky Hoa commune (Ha Tinh), ends at Bo Trach commune (Quang Tri), connecting with the Bung - Van Ninh expressway project.
There are 2 intersections on the route including: Tien Chau - Van Hoa (Km 597+900) and National Highway 12A (Km 605+500). The exploitation of this expressway contributes to shortening the journey from Hanoi to Quang Tri, facilitating trade in the North Central region, promoting the socio-economic development of the region.
