TPO - Binh Duong province is spending nearly 1,400 billion VND to upgrade a 12.7km stretch of National Highway 13 (from the Binh Duong welcome gate bordering Ho Chi Minh City to Thu Dau Mot City). After more than two years, the construction unit is still "waiting" because land clearance has not been completed and the power grid relocation has not been finished.

On August 10th, a reporter from Tien Phong newspaper observed that the project to upgrade and expand National Highway 13 in Binh Duong province has temporarily halted construction due to incomplete land clearance. In addition, the relocation of power lines remains unfinished. |

The construction unit relocated 64 power poles along a 1,960m stretch of the route. Due to the large volume of work, the construction unit mobilized more than 175 workers and 20 cranes to complete the job. |
 |
According to the plan, the relocation of the entire power grid for the upgrade and expansion project of National Highway 13 section through Thuan An city will take 150 days. The relocation is expected to be completed in October. |
