The USD174m Cu Mong Tunnel which connects Binh Dinh and Phu Yen provinces has been completed and opened to traffic on January 21.

The tunnel is 6.62km long with a speed limit of 80km/h. The build-operate-transfer project is invested by Deo Ca JSC and started on September 26, 2015. The project was scheduled to complete on March 31 but completed 2.5 months beforehand.

This is one of four key national projects this year besides Cat Linh-Ha Dong railway, Bac Giang-Lang Son highway.

It will take only six minutes to travel through the tunnel. Deputy Minister of Transport Le Dinh Tho said that the tunnel would help shorten the travel time between Binh Dinh and Phu Yen, improve the traffic network, ease congestion and traffic accidents.

"The tunnel will help boost the socio-economic development of two provinces with the southern central coast," he said.
