VND15.6 trillion for Ca Pass tunnel project
More than VND15.6 trillion will be invested in a project to build a tunnel route under Ca Pass and Co Ma Pass, linking the two central provinces of Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa on National Highway 1A, the Ministry of Transport announced on November.
The route will be 13.4 km long, with the section under Ca Pass measuring 3.9 km and 500m under Co Ma pass.
Construction is scheduled to start on November 18 and complete by 2016.
On completion, the route is expected to reduce traffic accidents on National Highway 1A and contribute to the development of big economic centres, industrial zones and tourism sites in the central region.
It will also contribute to socio-economic and political development and ensure security-defence in the central and Central Highlands region.
