Work is due to commence shortly on key sections of Vietnam’s massive North-South Expressway project. The construction work will start on three sub-projects of the route’s Eastern cluster by the end of September 2020.

Included in these three sub-projects are 13 civil work packages. The works are for the stretches between Phan Thiet and Dau Giay, Mai Son and National Highway No 45 and Vinh Hao and Phan Thiet.
