The inspection reviewed both construction progress and adherence to technical standards, ensuring the project’s alignment with quality requirements for durability and user safety.

During the site visit, the Secretary of State stressed the importance of maintaining meticulous quality control, especially during the rainy season, and called for thorough attention to road safety measures, including installing necessary safety equipment and clear road signage. Furthermore, he urged the team to strictly follow technical specifications for road mapping and marker placement to enhance transportation efficiency and ensure safe travel for all users.
