Infrastructure projects approved in Quang Ngai and Lao Cai provinces

Quang Ngai province has announced an investment of 650 billion VND to construct four resettlement areas within the Van Tuong urban area (phase 1). Managed by the Quang Ngai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project covers approximately 44.56 hectares and is expected to provide between 883 and 1,535 resettlement plots. The project is scheduled to run from 2027 to 2030, with provincial Chairman Nguyen Duc Tam requesting that construction begin by the first quarter of 2027. The development aims to accommodate residents affected by relocation and clearance processes, with requirements for underground technical infrastructure and dedicated land for education and cultural facilities.

In Lao Cai province, nearly 18.8 billion VND has been allocated to address traffic safety issues on National Highway 279. The project, overseen by the Lao Cai Department of Construction, will focus on two main sections in Bao Yen and Duong Quy communes. Improvements include adjusting route directions, increasing curve radii, widening roadbeds, and repairing damaged surfaces. The project also includes upgrading drainage systems, installing new signage, and adding reflective road studs to enhance vehicle safety. Implementation is planned for the 2026 to 2027 period.
