LAOS - Vientiane province will spend more than 25 billion kip to asphalt a 13.5km section of road between Huayphanla and Nongsan villages in Kasy district as one of the government's priority projects.
According to a local reporter, Mr Phoukhong Siduanglath, an agreement was made at the General Staff Department of the Defence Ministry on March 10, and was inked between Director of the Vientiane provincial Public Works and Transport Department, Mr Thavone Phengseng, and the owner of a road construction company, Mr Somphan Panyathilath.
Deputy Director General of the department and Chairman of the Lao-Thai Border Security Sub-committee Brigadier General Bouasieng Champaphanh attended the signing along with other officials.
"This road linking Huayphanla village to the Nongsan development area is a mountainous area and a priority project of the government because the people in the Nongsan area are mostly returning illegal migrants from Thailand who have settled here ," said Mr Thavone.
He said the road will help local people transport goods to the Phalak development area which is also home to former illegal migrants. The road will pass through Phalak to the urban area of Kasy district.
The road is set to finish in two years time and will cost more than 25 billion kip, financed by the government, he said. The asphalt road will be eight metres wide.
The purpose of the project is to help improve the living conditions of people living in the Nongsan development area.
It is also being tied to this week's 9th Party Congress and elections for the 7th Legislature of the National Assembly.
"I want the construction company to build the road quickly because it will facilitate two further projects in the Nongsan area to provide electricity and irrigation," said Brigadier General Bouasieng.
"Currently there are difficulties transporting fuel, construction materials and electricity poles to the area."
