The ceremony took place in an enthusiastic atmosphere, attended by the Advisory Council, DEOCA Group’s leadership, along with investors, contractors and supervision consultants for both projects.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Pham Duy Hieu, Deputy General Director of DEOCA Group, emphasized the critical significance of Huu Nghi - Chi Lang and Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressways in the overall development of transport infrastructure in the Northeast region and across the country.
Since their groundbreaking in 2024, the two projects have received close guidance and attention from the Party, State, ministries, and local authorities. They have been honored with visits from the Prime Minister and leaders of the Ministry of Construction for site inspections and encouragement of engineers and workers.
Despite challenges such as land clearance, prolonged rain and floods, complex geological conditions, and a demanding schedule, construction has maintained a rapid pace to achieve the goal of opening traffic.
“Currently, nearly 6,000 officials, engineers and workers, supported by 2,600 pieces of equipment, are working tirelessly to accelerate progress across hundreds of construction fronts. The goal is to complete over 150 kilometers of both expressways in 2026, thereby building a modern highway corridor through the Northeast mountains”, Mr. Pham Duy Hieu said.

Contractors have mobilized 2.652 personnel and 1.243 pieces of equipment, with work proceeding on 141 construction fronts across 4 bidding packages. The project's value of work completed to date stands at approximately USD 9,4 million out of USD 250 million, which represents 37.44% of the contract value. |
