The Government leader and officials examined some sub-projects of the North - South Expressway’s eastern wing, namely Van Phong - Nha Trang, Chi Thanh - Van Phong, and Hoai Nhon - Quy Nhon; along with the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot expressway project.

Praising the spirit of engineers and workers at construction sites, PM Chinh asked the parties involved in the projects to summon all personnel and equipment to build the roads on schedule with progress, quality, aesthetic value, labour safety, and environmental protection guaranteed.

They also need to enhance examination and supervision, give commendation in timely manner, prevent corruption and negative phenomena, care for workers’ life, and ensure the people displaced to serve the projects have a better or at least equal quality of life compared to their previous living places, he noted.

In particular, he added, ministries, sectors, and localities must coordinate closely with one another to tackle bottlenecks, ensure smart transport management and operation, and build rest areas and support facilities meeting standards.
