The Deputy Minister directed units with large volumes of pending paperwork to complete all payment and settlement procedures within November 2025, adding that no backlog may be carried over to the next month. Where necessary, the Department of Economics and Construction Investment Management will form a task force to work directly with project units to process each document.
He also required project owners to coordinate closely with local authorities to resolve all remaining land-clearance obstacles, enabling contractors to access construction sites and increase on-site output. Minor land-clearance issues must be solved within 15 days.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Viet Hung further requested that project owners and management units clearly specify items requiring adjustments, the approval timelines, and the expected impacts on capital plans. For provinces that have not finalized material unit prices, local authorities are asked to complete approval procedures within November.
In addition, all smart traffic (ITS), information technology, and automated toll collection packages must be completed before December 31, 2025. ITS packages are required to finish trial operations within the year to ensure full synchronization from January 1, 2026. IT contractors must finalize all software fixes before December 15, while the Road Administration will carry out weekly inspections and reporting.
