On May 14, Deputy Minister Nguyen Viet Hung inspected the Hoa Lien – Tuy Loan Expressway and urged contractors and investors to stay on schedule and ensure the route is open to traffic by August 19, 2025, in line with the government’s directive.
The Deputy Minister praised the efforts of project stakeholders thus far but emphasized that the expressway has entered a decisive phase. He urged all parties to remain focused and address remaining issues related to site clearance and construction materials without delay.

“This is a politically significant milestone”, Deputy Minister Hung said. “We must work with high determination, apply the ‘three shifts, four crews’ model, and overcome adverse weather conditions to ensure the road opens on time — in celebration of National Day and the 80th anniversary of the transport sector”.
The Hoa Lien – Tuy Loan Expressway is a key component of the Ho Chi Minh Road project. According to a report from the Project Management Unit (PMU), the project has reached approximately 60% completion, with ongoing work including roadbed excavation, embankment construction (K95, K98), placement of crushed stone, and multiple layers of asphalt concrete. The progress is generally meeting the planned targets.
Construction is underway on the Hoa Lien – Tuy Loan Expressway in Da Nang. The route is scheduled to open to traffic by August 19, 2025.
Deputy Minister Hung also instructed the PMU and contractors to revise the construction timeline in accordance with directions from the Prime Minister and Ministry of Construction leadership. He asked for coordination with local authorities to resolve all remaining obstacles within May and to complete connecting roads by November 2025.
“Quality control must remain a top priority. We cannot sacrifice long-term safety and durability for short-term gains”, he added.
The expressway is scheduled to open to traffic on August 19, 2025, while full completion of the project is targeted for November this year.
