Dak Nong faces difficulties in disbursing Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh expressway project

Dak Nong has allocated 250 billion VND for the Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh Expressway Project, but so far only more than 1 billion VND has been disbursed, reaching less than 1%.

On June 4, the leader of Dak Nong Department of Finance confirmed that, up to now, the Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh Expressway Project has only disbursed 1,053 billion VND.

According to the Department of Finance, Dak Nong was assigned to be the investor of two component projects of the Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh expressway. These two component projects have a total investment of 1,000 billion VND, arranged by the local budget.

Dak Nong province has started construction of 1 of 3 construction packages of Component Project 2 - investing in the construction of service roads and overpasses across the area.

In which, Component Project 2 is to invest in the construction of a service road and an overpass across the province. This project has a total investment of 338 billion VND, and was assigned by the Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee to the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board as the investor.

Component project 4 is compensation, support, and resettlement for the section passing through Dak Nong province. The project has a total investment of 662 billion VND, with Dak R'lap District People's Committee as the investor.

Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee has balanced and allocated 250 billion VND from the local budget's medium-term capital source for the above two component projects. Of which, the capital plan for 2024 is 36 billion VND and the plan for 2025 is 187 billion VND.

Dak Nong Province started construction of Component 2 of Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh Expressway at the end of April 2025.

Dak Nong Department of Finance has allocated 32.5 billion VND to implement Component Project 2. To date, the investor has disbursed 1,053 billion VND, reaching 3.2% of the plan.

According to the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, Component Project 2 has 3 construction packages. The Board has selected a contractor for 1 package and will start construction at the end of April 2025.

For the remaining 2 component projects, it is expected that contractors will be selected to start construction in August 2025. Component project 4 has been assigned 217.5 billion VND but has not yet been disbursed.

The leader of Dak R'lap District People's Committee said that Component Project 4 has not yet been appraised and approved, so there is no basis for disbursement. The reason is that there is a difference in the total investment amount and it needs to be adjusted according to regulations.

The two provinces of Binh Phuoc and Dak Nong are the investors of 2 component projects related to the construction of service roads and resettlement compensation, the section passing through their provinces.
