Ba Ria-Vung Tau to clear 43 hectares of forest for coastal road project
More than 43 hectares of forests will be cleared for two expanded coastal road projects in the southern coastal province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
The 77-km Coastal Road 994 connects Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Thuan provinces.
The expansion of Coastal Road 994 will involve the clearance of 34.40 hectares of protective and special-use forests in Dat Do and Xuyen Moc districts, according to a recently approved provincial plan.
The 77-km road that connects Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Thuan provinces will be expanded to between 6-8 lanes, allowing speeds of 80 km per hour. There are currently dozens of tourism projects along this road. Once completed, the road is expected to help Ho Tram become a national tourist site.
Construction of the 3.70-km Long Son-Cai Mep Coastal Road will also use 9.40 hectares of protective forest land. The VND1.19 trillion six-lane road will connect Vung Tau, Long Son, Cai Mep, Thi Vai and Phu My with surrounding localities.
