Over the past few days, drivers traveling on the Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet expressway heading South – North have been surprised to see many sections of the road patched up.

Specifically, from Km 160 to Km 175, Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway (section between Cho Lau intersection - Luong Son intersection, Bac Binh district, Binh Thuan province) has many patched road surfaces, creating a difference in elevation compared to the old roadbed.

On some sections of this route, the density of road patches is quite high, causing some difficulty for drivers when traveling.

Also on this route, drivers also noted a few small, newly appeared potholes that had not been patched yet.

On the entire Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet expressway, the patching points mainly appear from Km 160 to Km 175.

It is known that the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway will officially open to traffic from May 19, 2023, with a 17m wide road surface for 4 lanes with a speed of 90km/h and a minimum of 60km/h.

The entire route is 101km long, the starting point of the project intersects with the end point of Cam Lam - Vinh Hao expressway in Tuy Phong district and the end point connects with Phan Thiet - Dau Giay expressway in Ham Thuan Nam district.

The total investment of the project in the phased phase is over 10,853 billion VND, from the budget. In the initial phase of operation, the project has not yet implemented toll collection.

Speaking to a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Pham Quoc Huy - Executive Director of the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway Project (Project Management Board 7, Ministry of Transport), said that he had previously received information about potholes appearing on the above-mentioned road sections and had directed repairs and fixes.

According to Mr. Huy, the Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet expressway is 101km long, if there are potholes that need to be patched, it is “within the allowable calculation”. “The patched expressway section is under construction by contractor Phuc Loc. We have received the information and directed further inspection and review” – Mr. Huy said.
