Thua Thien – Hue (VNA) – The Phuoc Tuong – Phu Gia road tunnel on the National Road 1A that is crossing Phu Loc district, the central province of Thua Thien – Hue has been put into use.
The construction of the tunnel started in May, 2013 under the build– operate– transfer (BOT) model at a total cost of 1.74 trillion VND (77.8 million USD).
The Phuoc Tuong-Phu Gia tunnel allows a speed limit of 80km per hour.
