Vietnam's HCM City to spend 44.4 mln U.S. dollars stoning sidewalks

Xinhua, March 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City will pour some 1,000 Vietnamese dong (over 44.4 million U.S. dollars) into stone-paving sidewalks of 134 roads in district 1, local media reported Monday.

From the second quarter of this year, the sidewalks will be stone-paved with granite as Nguyen Hue Street, Vietnam's first pedestrian street, has been done, daily newspaper Thanh Nien (Young People) reported.

Enterprises in Vietnam have pledged to provide the city with the fund, and the municipal authorities will repay them three-five years later.

Currently, most of the sidewalks in district 1 are degraded. Endit
