The goal of having more than 3,000 km of expressways by 2025 is feasible
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that infrastructure development is one of the three strategic breakthroughs, always interested by the Party and State.
Resolution of the XIII Congress set out by 2030, to strive for the country to have about 5,000 km of highways and to fulfill this goal, by 2025, we must reach at least 3,000 km. That means, we have to do nearly 2,000 km between now and 2025.
In the period 2000 - 2021, the whole country has just invested and put into operation more than 1,000 km of expressways. Thus, in 5 years,
we have to make twice as many kilometers of highways that have been built over the past 20 years.
"In the past 20 years, we have not implemented much but brought valuable lessons, marking an important milestone in the highway system. Since then, we have experience in implementing the 2021-2025 period. , 2026-2030, there are more lessons on how to decentralize, decentralize, how to organize to do better", the Prime Minister said, emphasizing "just doing and learning from experience, gradually expanding, with the spirit of no perfectionist, not in a hurry".
The Prime Minister said that from the beginning of his term until now, we have achieved a number of important milestones in highway development.
Firstly, an additional 566 km of highways were inaugurated and put into operation, bringing the total number of highways in the country to 1,729 km. Second, the projects are under construction, with a total length of 350 km. Third, from the beginning of 2023, construction of projects has been started, with a total length of 1,406 km.
Thus, along with 1,729 km have been put into operation and the total length of the expressway of the projects under construction, which has commenced by the end of June 2023 is 1,756 km.
"If we strive better, have greater determination, make greater efforts, act more decisively, focus on the focus, focus more, from now to 2025, we will achieve the goal of having more than 3,000 km highway," said the Prime Minister. In addition, there are nearly 300 km of highways in the process of studying and approving projects.

It is more special when the Ring Road 4 - Capital Region project is applied a special mechanism. Firstly, promote decentralization and decentralization, thereby assigning localities to be the governing bodies for project implementation. The Central Government assigns to provinces, cities, provinces and cities to assign districts and towns. Thus, this decentralization creates opportunities and advantages for site clearance. At the grassroots level, districts, communes and wards have actively participated. Second, apply a mechanism to mobilize resources for projects that combine central and local budgets and other legal capital sources.

Second, continue the work of site clearance and resettlement with the principle that life in the new place must be equal to or higher than the old one.
Third, preparing a very large volume of construction materials and dumping sites requires the active participation of localities, all levels and sectors, especially at the grassroots level. "This is a stage that I have been checking for the past 2 years and found it to be quite congested, but must be solved at the scene, because some of our regulations are overlapping and not of the right nature," the Prime Minister requested. local leaders must pay attention and actively solve the problem of materials for the project. It is necessary to avoid corruption and negativity in the exploitation of common materials (soil, stone, sand, gravel).
Fourth, the construction of a very large volume of works in a short period of time and is affected by weather conditions, so "we have to overcome the sun and beat the rain, performing 3 shifts and 4 crews", the Prime Minister stated. clear. The experience of projects that have achieved and surpassed the past schedule is to overcome the sun, win the rain, win the pandemic, do all the work, not work all the time.
