The project is nearly 5km long, 6.5m wide, with a 3.5m asphalt road surface, and is a level V mountainous traffic project. This is a public investment project from the central budget to implement the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2025 period, with a total investment of over 50 billion VND.

When completed, the above project will create favorable conditions for socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security in Que Phong district. However, the project is currently behind schedule compared to the set target.

The reason for the delay reported by Que Phong district is that the site clearance is stuck (due to having to change the purpose of forest use), the construction process generates a large amount of earth and rock that requires a change in construction methods, and the contractor has not really focused on human resources and means to organize the construction.

According to Que Phong district's assessment, the current disbursement rate of public investment for target programs in the first quarter is from 5-12%. The district is urging units and localities to focus on accelerating the implementation of programs, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.

Currently, the district has not yet been licensed for sand and soil mines; thus affecting the progress of basic construction projects in the area.
