QUANG NINH (VNS)— Over VND100 billion (US$4.7million) have been donated to enable the construction of local sea dykes and repair of essential roads in northeastern Quang Ninh Province.

The sum, equal to 60 per cent the required investment, were contributed by tens of enterprises in Cam Pha City.

This is the largest private sector contribution to a public infrastructure project in the city.

The project will improve sea dyke system and roads from Tai Xa Ferry Station to Van Don 1 Bridge, which is expected to reduce traffic pressure on the route to Cua Ong Temple, a popular historical site that attracts thousands of pilgrims on spiritual days. — VNS
