Le Duan Street, section 3, is still in disarray.

Mr. Lu Ngoc Trung - Chairman of Cam Ranh Ward People's Committee said that Le Duan Street is a vital traffic route parallel to National Highway 1. In addition to reducing the load on National Highway 1, this route plays a very important role in creating regional connectivity from the new urban area of Cam Lam which is preparing to be deployed to Cam Ranh port, to the North - South railway to go to the southern economic center of the province. When the route is put into operation, it will contribute to completing the urban traffic network, creating momentum to increase the value of land funds on both sides of the road, creating new development space, contributing to promoting the socio-economic development of localities. Therefore, the early completion and putting into use of Le Duan Street, section 3 is of great significance. After the two-level local government came into operation, Cam Ranh Ward People's Committee directed the Department of Economy, Infrastructure and Urban Areas to inspect the project's progress and sent a document requesting the Provincial Management Board of Investment and Construction Projects for Agricultural and Transport Works to review the progress, requesting the construction unit to mobilize maximum machinery, equipment and human resources to promptly complete the project according to the contract.
