Highway traffic to bypass beach town

(Date: April 15. Source: Vietnam News)

Scenic Lang Co village will be protected from environmental and traffic problems once a bypass for National Highway 1A is built, provincial authorities have announced.

Thua Thien-Hue Province and the Ministry of Transport's Project Management Unit 85 have agreed to build a bypass to re-route the highway around the village.

National Highway 1A currently runs straight through Lang Co, which is situated on the coast of the central province of Thua Thien-Hue.

The bypass will begin at the northern foot of Hai Van Pass and run along the west bank of Lap An Lagoon to join with the highway again just north of the lagoon.

Construction of the bypass will cost about VND200bil (US$13mil) and will be partly funded by $10mil left from the Hai Van Pass Tunnel Project.

The Transport Ministry and the Japan Bank for International Co-operation (which funded the tunnel project) have agreed to use the left over money for the bypass.
