The upgrade and expansion of the Prenn Pass, Da Lat City’s main access route is being completed before the Tet Lunar New Year Holiday.
According to Deoca Group, the project's contractor, 85 percent of the project has been finished and they're taking advantage of the dry season to speed up the final work so that the project can be completed ahead of Tet.
Lam Dong People’s Committee began upgrading and expanding the Prenn Pass on February 10.
The VND533-billion project started in February on the 7.40-kilometre pass which connects the tourist city of Da Lat with Lien Khuong International Airport and the Dau Giay - Lien Khuong Expressway linking the southeastern province of Dong Nai with Lam Dong.
Lam Dong People's Committee said that the project would help solve traffic congestion problems, ensure traffic safety, especially at weekends and on holidays; and increase the pace of socio-economic development of Da Lat and Lam Dong Province.
Prenn Pass, built by France in 1943, sees the highest level of traffic out of all roads leading into the city. The new upgrades will improve many of the dangerous curves along the pass.
