Recently, investors have tried and tried to speed up the construction progress of rest stops, however, the Vietnam Road Administration assesses that the progress of completing all stations is still slow; Some stations have operated essential services but do not yet have food services, fuel supply, or vehicle charging. To complete the rest stops and soon provide full services to serve people and vehicles on the highway, especially during the National Day holiday of September 2, the Vietnam Road Administration requires investors to seriously implement the obligations and responsibilities according to the provisions of the signed contract; Urgently increase resources, add construction work, increase shifts, increase crew to complete the entire station in 2026 according to the contract schedule. Urgently complete essential service works For stations that do not have or temporarily operate essential service works (such as: Dien Chau-Bai Vot station; Cam Lo-La Son; Quang Ngai-Hoai Nhon Km77; Van Phong-Nha Trang; Nha Trang-Cam Lam; Cam Lam-Vinh Hao) requested to urgently complete and put into operation in August 2026, and at the same time strengthen management, operation, exploitation and construction organization to ensure compliance with regulations on traffic safety, labor safety, environmental sanitation, meeting the increased demand of people and vehicles participating in traffic during the National Day holiday September 2. Project management boards focus on inspecting and urging investors on construction progress. Build and properly implement obligations and responsibilities according to the provisions of law and contracts. Road management zones strengthen field inspection of rest stops in their management areas; promptly warn and rectify the work of ensuring traffic safety and environmental sanitation, especially at stations that have been put into operation; proactively coordinate and guide investors on traffic organization for stations preparing to be put into operation; Report weekly to the Vietnam Roads Department for monitoring and direction. Previously, Mr. Ngo Lam, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Roads Department, pointed out that during the implementation process, rest stops encountered difficulties and problems with site clearance work that was largely delayed. Although it has now been basically resolved, the previous slow site clearance affected the implementation progress. For example, the site clearance of Phan Thiet-Dau Giay station was 15 months late; Nha Trang-Cam Lam is 14 months late; Nghi Son-Dien Chau is 12 months late; Cam Lo-La Son is 9 months late; Quang Ngai-Hoai Nhon Km15 is 8 months late; Van Ninh-Cam Lo is 6 months late; Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet station Km144 signed a contract on August 3, 2024 but did not hand over the site eligible for construction on August 5, 2026). In particular, some stations are slow in procedures for mineral recovery, conversion of forest land use, etc., slowing down construction progress by 3-5 months. For stations that violate the contract, the Road Department resolutely handles the investors responsibilities, requires commitment and a time limit for remediation; in case of continued violations, without a solution, the time for business and operation of the station will be reduced or the contract will be considered to be terminated according to regulations, Mr. Lam emphasized.
