This is also the basis for attracting, calling for, and selecting investors to implement the planning in accordance with regulations; serving as a legal basis for planning investment in construction and managing construction of works and functional areas in the area.

The Provincial People's Council also approved the draft Resolution on adjusting the investment policy for the traffic road project connecting National Highway 7C (Do Luong) to Ho Chi Minh Road (Tan Ky).

This is a project approved by the Provincial People's Council in May 2021, with a total investment of more than 684.4 billion VND, a route length of 20.5 km. Up to now, this project has been implemented and 19.5/20.5 km of asphalt has been paved; expected to be completed in May 2024.

The adjustment of the project investment policy with the total investment increased from more than 684.4 billion VND to more than 739 billion VND, due to the increase in costs for site clearance, construction, project management and some other costs during the project implementation.
