Construction of a USD1.49 trillion (USD63.41 million) coastal road section in the southern central province of Binh Dinh began on Friday morning.
The 4.3-kilometre section is part of the DT 639 coast road project. The six-lane road will link Nhon Phu and Nhon Binh wards in Quy Nhon City.

Three concrete bridges and eight drainage systems will be built on the road which is scheduled to be put into operation in early 2025.
Binh Dinh will have a total of 115 kilometres of coastal road to connect the neighbouring provinces of Quang Ngai and Phu Yen provinces according to government plans.
Many of Binh Dinh’s coastal roads are narrow and prone to flooding during the rainy season.
Highway 639’s three sections of around 50 kilometres have already been completed. Another 14-kilometre long which runs from Phu Cat to Tuy Phuoc districts is still under construction.
Once fully completed, the DT 639 road project will help connect Binh Dinh and the neighbouring province of Phu Yen.
