Road construction in Donnokkhoum behind schedule
The 11 km stretch of road construction from Donnokkhoum village in Sisattanak district to Nakhuay village in Xaysettha district is now about 65 percent complete. The road slated is actually 11.66 km long and its construction has come at a cost of more than US$76 million, or over 600 billion kip, of which has been supported by the government. According to the Public Works and Transport Department reporting at the second ordinary session of the Vientiane People’s Council recently, the project was implemented through a contract for road construction connecting the two villages between the Department and the Namtha Road and Bridge Construction Company. The project’s contract was initially signed in July 2012 in which the period of agreement was for about 36 months; it then received authorisation for renewal through until July 2017.
