Prime Minister Phuc stated that this project will improve coastal road connections between provinces in the northern region, boost local socio-economic development and enhance national security in coastal areas.
The 34.4-kilometre long highway will cost an estimated VND3,872 billion (US$162.6 million) and is scheduled for completion in 2021, allowing a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour.
Attending a ground-breaking ceremony for a 1,000-bed general hospital in the city of Thai Binh, PM Phuc was informed by the investor FLC of the project which will cost more than VND3.7 trillion (US$159 million) and will be constructed under the hospital-hotel model that meets international standards.
The first phase of the project with 500 beds is scheduled for completion in 2022, helping to make Thai Binh a high-quality healthcare center in the southern region of the Red River Delta and reduce the burden on hospitals in Ha Noi.
