  • Gia Lai province in Vietnam has launched three major infrastructure projects to commemorate National Day.
  • The Quy Nhon - Pleiku expressway, the largest of the projects, will feature two tunnels and connect the coastal region to the Central Highlands and Cambodia.
  • Other projects include a nearly 40 km coastal road and the Lรช Thรกnh Tรดn road, aimed at boosting socio-economic development.

Gia Lai province in Vietnam has initiated three significant infrastructure projects, marking a substantial investment in the region's development. The commencement of these projects coincides with the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the August Revolution and Vietnam's National Day.

The most ambitious undertaking is the Quy Nhon - Pleiku expressway, with an estimated cost of approximately 27.576 trillion Vietnamese dong. This project includes the construction of two tunnels through the An Khรช and Mang Yang passes, presenting considerable engineering challenges. The expressway is designed to serve as a vital East-West transportation corridor, linking the South Central Coast region with the Central Highlands and extending connectivity to northeastern Cambodia. Officials anticipate it will significantly improve access to seaports from the highlands and vice versa.

In addition to the expressway, Gia Lai is developing a coastal road project, part of the DT.639 route, spanning nearly 40 kilometers. This initiative, with an investment of 2.660 trillion Vietnamese dong funded by the World Bank and provincial counterpart funds, comprises two components. One will connect National Road 19C to Quy Nhon Port with a 4-6 lane road, while the other will build the Mแปน Thร nh - Lแบกi Giang section of the coastal road, featuring 2-4 lanes.

The third project involves the construction of the Lรช Thรกnh Tรดn road in Diรชn Hแป“ng ward, with an investment of 160 billion Vietnamese dong. This road, designed to be 4.13 kilometers long and 30 meters wide, will connect Lรช Thรกnh Tรดn Street with Hแป“ Chรญ Minh Road (National Road 14). The launch of these projects underscores Gia Lai's commitment to enhancing its transportation network and fostering economic growth.

The Quy Nhon - Pleiku expressway plays the role of an East - West traffic axis, connecting the South Central Coast region with the Central Highlands and northeastern Cambodia. The route is expected to open up a faster connection from the highland region to the seaport and vice versa.
