The Ministry of Transport and central Phu Yen Province's People's Committee opened a new section of National Highway No 1 on October 13.
The province renovated a 66.2km section of the road, starting in September 2013. It was designed with four lanes – two for automobiles at a speed limit of 80km per hour. The other two lanes are earmarked for vehicles without engines like bicycles and cyclos.
The Government funded the 4.3 trillion VND (191.5 million USD) project.
The updated section starts in Song Cau township and ends in Dong Hoa district.
Fourteen reinforced concrete bridges were built on the road. The longest is a 260m flyover crossing Chi Thanh town.
In the process, 4,622 households in Phu Yen province were removed and resettled. The project was finished three months ahead of schedule.
