Binh Dinh proposes to reduce the area of highway rest stops
Binh Dinh proposed that the Ministry of Transport consider reducing the scale of construction of rest stops on the highway through the province because it occupies a large area of production forest land and rice fields that need to be reclaimed for site clearance.
The People's Committee of Binh Dinh province has just proposed that the Ministry of Transport consider adjusting the scale of construction of rest stops on the North-South expressway through the province.
According to the proposal of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee, the first rest stop is located at Km 77+820, belonging to Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon Component Project in Hoai Hao and Hoai Thanh Tay wards, Hoai Nhon town. The scale of the rest stop is usually about 5 hectares, arranged on the right side of the expressway in the North - South direction.
The second rest stop is located at Km 35+500, part of the Hoai Nhon – Quy Nhon Component Project in My Hiep Commune, Phu My District. The scale of the rest stop is usually about 5 hectares, arranged on the left side of the expressway in the North – South direction.
Explaining the above proposal, the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province said that according to Decision No. 938/QD-BGTVT, dated July 3, 2023 of the Ministry of Transport on approving the rest stop network on the North-South expressway in the East, located in the above localities but with a total area of 10 hectares (located on both sides of the expressway, each side is 5 hectares wide).
However, Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee mentioned and compared with Circular No. 09/2024/TTBGTVT, dated April 5, 2024, also of the Ministry of Transport on promulgating national technical regulations on road rest stops, stipulating the minimum area of rest stops is 1 hectare.
From here, Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee believes that the construction of a rest stop with a scale of 10 hectares (5 hectares on each side) is very large, occupying a large area of production forest land and rice land that needs to be recovered to clear the ground for the project.
It is known that the Standing Committee of Binh Dinh Provincial Party Committee has Conclusion No. 377-KL/TU, dated August 7, 2024 on the construction location of the rest stop under the North-South Expressway Project, Eastern phase 2021-2025 through the province.
After that, the Chairman of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Transport to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Department of Construction, Phu My District People's Committee, Hoai Nhon Town People's Committee, Project Management Board 2 and 85... on the proposal to build 1 rest stop on each side of the route, with an area of each station of 5 hectares (the direction going to the South is located in Hoai Nhon town, the opposite direction is located in My Hiep commune, Phu My district).
