Mr. Phan Van Mai pledged before the Government in the coming period to continue to focus on completing site clearance, speeding up construction, closely coordinating with units, project management boards, and the Ministry of Transport to promptly remove difficulties with the highest determination. “Ring 3 is extremely important to Ho Chi Minh City. This is a project of the will of the Party and the people. I hope in the coming period, people will also stand with the locality, being a "co-author" of Belt 3. We are committed to coordinating with the Central Ministries, closely monitoring and regularly promoting the technical traffic works by the end of 2025, completing the whole project by 2026” – Mr. Phan Van Mai said.
If the determination is high, the whole country will surely have 3.000 km of highways by 2025
Issued the order to start the construction of 3 projects, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed that these are all projects with a very large total investment and extremely important significance. Due to limited resources, during the past 20 years, Vietnam has only built more than 1.000 km of highways. Although there is still a small amount, this is a very meaningful stage, a lesson to draw experiences, draw models in the right direction, more effective when starting to implement this phase 2, with the goal by 2030 to have about 5.000 km of highways.
“In order to realize this goal, from now to 2025, the transport sector must complete nearly 2.000 km of highways, four times more than the number of expressways made during the past 4 years. This is a very heavy task, but we have learned many valuable lessons to overcome the shortcomings of the previous period. The special thing is that the 20 projects started today are all projects that have their own specific mechanisms applied. The most prominent is the mechanism of decentralization and decentralization. Imagine nearly 3 km of expressway, how difficult it would be if only the Ministry of Transport were in charge. Therefore, the mechanism of decentralization of powers for localities is very important, determining the results of the project," the Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh presided over the groundbreaking of 3 key projects
The head of the Government also informed: This term, our country is estimated to have VND 500.000 billion to build transport infrastructure. In addition, it also mobilizes central and local capital sources such as Belt 3 (local 50%, central 50%). Next is capital from increasing revenue and saving expenses; medium-term investment sources; other sources of cooperation capital; funding recovery programs. From these 5 sources, the Government is confident to have large capital to complete the transport network in the next period.
In addition, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh especially praised the spirit of Ho Chi Minh City's efforts, in a short time, more than 80% of the construction site has been completed, eligible to start the project. Localities have managed, operated, supported by the people, mobilized the whole political system, so they have created consensus and achieved good results in site clearance. This is an unmeasured product, not a product on paper, so it's really emotional.
“Capital mobilization is already difficult, having capital and then clearing the site quickly – these are the two decisive factors in many important factors creating the success of traffic works. With lessons on how to do new things like this, with great determination, great efforts and drastic actions, by 2, the whole country will certainly have 2025 km of highways," the Prime Minister confidently affirmed.
Perspective of Ring Road 3 of Ho Chi Minh City
Determining that the upcoming work is still very big, with many challenges, and many difficulties, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked localities to continue speeding up the clearance of the remaining positions, many of which are located through residential areas, which are easy to generate complaints and complaints. In parallel, ensure the source of construction materials; building effective and reasonable construction plans in the context that all 3 projects have large construction volumes in a short period of time, with difficult weather conditions...
The Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Finance, the investors, contractors, supervision consultants ... are assigned the task to closely coordinate and strengthen coordination with other ministries and branches to promptly remove difficulties and challenges, control the project progress throughout the implementation process.
