Ban Hom Road upgrade on schedule
Workers have been pouring concrete to resurface the Ban Hom Road in Hadxaifong district, Vientiane, with the long-awaited upgrade scheduled for completion by the end of the year. A 4km section from the Chinaimo junction to Somhong village has now been fully concreted making up part of the 14km road running from Chinaimo through Somhong and Kaengpayang villages following the Mekong to Thakhek and Xaifongneua villages. Project Manager Mr Khounsombath Feuaymanivong told Vientiane Times on March 2 that workers were busily concreting while also installing the piped water system, improving certain sections of finished road, and tidying up the roadsides. The main work of the project is about 45 percent complete while the remaining work is expected to be completed on time.
