Meanwhile, the management board of the project will actively work with local authorities to deal with land clearance and compensation, and create all favourable conditions for the contractors to complete the project by 2018.
The construction of the Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway commenced in 2013 with a total investment of nearly 1.7 billion USD.
