Cam Lo - La Son Expressway is invested in phases, has completed phase 1 with a scale of 2 lanes, operating conditions are still limited but due to mobility and convenience, traffic volume increased much faster than forecasted when designing the project.

Up to now, the Cam Lo - La Son expressway has been invested in phases and has reached its design traffic capacity. It needs to be upgraded and expanded to 4 new lanes to ensure exploitation in the 2025-2030 period.

"During the research and implementation process, it is recommended that relevant agencies, units and localities pay attention to and focus on issues related to people's livelihoods such as the environment; avoid situations such as local flooding and removing protective fences due to inadequacies in opening access roads," Mr. Minh emphasized.

Previously, as reported by Giao Thong Newspaper, the Prime Minister had directed research to mobilize resources to expand the entire Cam Lo - La Son route to 4 lanes.

The Ministry of Transport has decided to prepare a pre-feasibility study report for the second phase of the expansion. Accordingly, it is expected that the entire 98km Cam Lo - La Son expressway will be expanded to four lanes in the second phase with a total investment of about VND7,000 billion.

The Ministry of Transport also proposed that the Government allocate surplus revenue and implement the project investment according to the emergency order. If these policy mechanisms are approved, the project is expected to start construction at the end of 2024 and is expected to be basically completed in 2025.
