It is expected that by the end of the year, the plan set by the 13th Congress will be completed and exceeded, with the whole country having at least 3,000km of highways and 1,000km of coastal roads (possibly reaching nearly 2,000km), basically completing Long Thanh airport; creating momentum, creating force, creating position to enter a new era with the country.
Up to now, major projects such as Long Thanh airport have regained their delayed progress. Many important projects have been completed ahead of schedule and put into operation early, helping to increase investment efficiency significantly, creating new development space, facilitating travel for people, reducing costs, increasing the competitiveness of products, goods, businesses and the economy .
According to the Prime Minister, the results achieved were partly due to the positive contribution of the peak emulation campaign "500 days and nights of emulation to complete 3,000 km of expressway" with very practical emulation contents.
There are only 5 months left from now until December 31, while there is still a lot of work, the Prime Minister requested ministries, branches and localities to continue to uphold the spirit of speed, boldness and breakthrough to make more efforts and determination, work "through the sun and rain", "eat and sleep quickly", work "3 shifts and 4 shifts", "through holidays and Tet", "work day and night, work extra on holidays" to speed up the construction progress.
At the same time, continue to innovate thinking, methodology, and approach to solve problems; ideology must be clear, determination must be high, actions must be drastic, effective, focused, key points, each task must be completed, each task must be done properly; in the process of organization and implementation, the assignment must ensure 6 things are clear: "clear people, clear work, clear responsibility, clear progress, clear products, clear authority" to "easy to check, easy to evaluate, easy to urge".
The Prime Minister noted that accelerating progress must be associated with ensuring quality, technique, aesthetics, safety, and environmental sanitation; focusing on creating landscapes and common spaces for projects; strengthening management, inspection, supervision, and improving the quality of works; absolutely not allowing negativity, corruption, waste, and occupational safety to occur.
Assigning a number of key and specific tasks, the Prime Minister requested good preparation for the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremonies of major projects and works to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day, ensuring compliance with regulations (including selecting a central bridge at the National Exhibition and Fair Center for live broadcast and online connection to the remaining bridges).
To basically complete the Long Thanh International Airport project in 2025, the Ministry of Finance directed ACV and relevant agencies and units to review the overall project progress, supplement human resources, equipment, construction teams, organize "3 shifts, 4 crews" construction to compensate for the slow progress; strictly control quality, labor safety, organize construction reasonably and scientifically.
Regarding the operation of expressways, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Construction to coordinate with localities to speed up site clearance, construction of rest stops, traffic monitoring systems, toll collection, vehicle weight control, and ensure that projects put into operation must be synchronous, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing.
According to the Prime Minister, basically, vertical and horizontal expressways across the country have been formed or are under construction, expected to be completed in 2025 and 2026.
To maximize investment efficiency, facilitate people and businesses, and promote socio-economic development where projects pass through, the Ministry of Construction and localities review the connecting traffic system to ensure the most convenient connection of expressways with economic centers, railway stations, seaports, airports, etc.
