Da Nang: Contract almost expired, project worth over 1,059 billion VND is only 38% complete

Slow progress due to site clearance problems

The Central Region Linkage Project is approximately 31.5 km long, passing through the communes of Thang Truong Tay Ho, Chien Dan, Tien Phuoc, Thanh Binh, Lanh Ngoc and Tra My. The total adjusted investment of the project is VND 1,059.8 billion (equivalent to USD 47.624 million), of which compensation and site clearance costs are VND 339.3 billion. The project started construction in July 2023, with an expected construction progress of 870 days.

According to the report of the Quang Nam Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project has only achieved construction output of about 196 billion VND/516 billion VND (reaching 38.13% of the contract); output from the beginning of the year until now is more than 61 billion VND/112.9 billion VND (reaching 54.68%).

In general, this key traffic project is behind schedule and is unlikely to be completed by 2025. The cumulative disbursement to date has reached VND 398,283 billion.

After nearly 2 years of construction, the Central Region Linkage Project has only completed about 38%.

According to the reporter's records, the contractor has very few construction teams or has carried out tasks such as filling the foundation and horizontal culverts but they are discontinuous and not continuous. Typically, the section through Thang Truong commune has the Truong Giang bridge project basically completed, and the embankment is under construction. The 0.4 km section of the handed-over site has no access road for implementation. In many sections, the contractor is removing horizontal culverts, vertical ditches or digging the foundation but has not been able to complete it, negatively affecting the lives of the people.

According to the investor, the project has only handed over 15.7/31.5 km (49.8%). Thang Truong and Thanh Binh communes are two localities that still have many difficulties and problems in site clearance. Specifically, Thang Truong commune has only handed over about 0.7/2 km (35%) but there are 400 m of discontinuous site and no access road for construction implementation.

Thanh Binh Commune handed over only 0.9/7.42 km but only 3 sections of 0.8 km were constructed; the remaining area is discontinuous and scattered, the electricity and fiber optic systems have not been relocated so construction cannot be carried out. Tien Canh resettlement area is carrying out compensation work and has selected a construction contractor, but has not yet started leveling the ground.

Project must be completed by 2026

To ensure the 2025 plan and complete and finalize the project in 2027, the investor requested the City People's Committee to resolutely direct the People's Committees of communes and compensation units to focus on removing difficulties and speeding up the progress of handing over the site for construction. Regional branches 9, 10, 15 of the City Land Fund Development Center should promptly receive compensation dossiers from localities to continue to carry out compensation and handover of the site.

For the Da Nang City Land Fund Development Center, urgently complete the Nghia Hoa residential area in the first quarter of 2026. Quickly complete procedures so that the regional branch can ensure conditions for withdrawing money from the treasury to pay people.

Faced with the above situation, Vice Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee Tran Nam Hung requested to accelerate site clearance and complete the project in 2026.

Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee Tran Nam Hung admitted that due to problems related to site clearance and resettlement, the project cannot be completed in 2025. That means the investor must work with related units to continue extending the project completion date.

The Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee also said that the loan agreement has expired, in principle the road must be completed this year. The city is assigning the relevant agencies, including the investor, to work with central ministries and branches to extend the project.

Therefore, the most important goal of the project in the coming time is compensation, site clearance and resettlement land arrangement for people.

“ The leaders of the City People's Committee have directed each specific case, specific situation and given very detailed policies . We must be determined and resolute to complete the site clearance work for the entire route this year. Next year, we will completely complete the Central Region Linkage Project,” Mr. Hung emphasized.
