Public investment projects accelerate to the finish line

The construction of Hai Thanh bridge was accelerated after Hung Dao ward handed over the project construction site.

Construction in full swing

After 11 hours, the construction site of package 20, the Ring Road 2 project, Hung Dao - Tan Vu - Bui Vien section, was still filled with the sound of drilling machines and excavators. According to the Hai Phong Traffic and Agricultural Construction Investment Project Management Board, due to the scarcity of materials, many packages were waiting for land. In addition, the city's weather in recent months has been continuously rainy and stormy, causing many difficulties for the construction unit.

Deputy Director of the Ring Road 2 Project Management, Vu Van Cuong, said that after many petitions to the People's Committee of Hung Dao Ward, the site clearance work in the area has clearly changed. Most recently, on October 17, the People's Committee of the Ward forcibly evicted the last two households in the 2.2-hectare area of public land managed by the locality. This is the construction area of the Hai Thanh Bridge piers and approach roads, and the handover of the site helps the contractor speed up the progress as committed. Localities are "sprinting" in the site clearance work, so the project's construction volume is accelerated. As of the end of October 20, the project's construction and installation budget for 2025 has reached 96.1%.

On the construction site of the road project after wharf No. 3 to wharf No. 6 (Lach Huyen port area) these days, the sound of horns from material trucks and pile drilling machines is always bustling. Mr. Tran Van Toan, Site Commander (Song Hong Joint Stock Company) said: since the construction started, the project has encountered many unfavorable weather conditions, but with the spirit of "overcoming the sun and rain, not losing to storms", after more than 2 months, the contractor has completed the roadbed construction, reaching 71,642/319,540 ^m3 ...

The city is entering the dry season, very suitable for construction activities. In the near future, the contractor will mobilize more machinery, combine overtime, and increase shifts to strive to pave the first 880 meters of the route with asphalt concrete by December 2025 to facilitate vehicles entering and exiting Lach Huyen ports 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Disbursement of capital for the construction of new-style rural areas in 2025 is a key task that the regional project management boards in the city are focusing on implementing. Deputy Director in charge of the Tien Lang Regional Project Management Board, Luong Hai Chau, said that the cumulative disbursement volume of the board to date has reached nearly 600/992.8 billion VND, equivalent to more than 60% of the plan. To ensure the earliest disbursement of 100% of public investment capital, the unit actively directs contractors to mobilize machinery, human resources, and materials to put the project into use soon.

Important driving force for growth

Disbursement of public investment capital is considered an important driving force contributing to promoting economic growth.

By the end of October 16, the entire city had disbursed 24,393/35,893 billion VND, reaching 68% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister and 62.4% of the capital plan assigned by the City People's Council. Notably, there were a number of investors whose disbursement value exceeded the scenario in Plan 175/KH-UBND of the city such as: Hai Phong Traffic and Agricultural Construction Investment Project Management Board (reaching 72.5%); West Hai Phong Construction Investment Project Management Board (62%); Thuy Nguyen Area Management Board (reaching 58.3%)... Based on the disbursement situation and transfer plan, it is expected that by January 31, 2026, the city will disburse 38,729 billion VND, equivalent to 107.9% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister and 98.6% of the capital plan assigned by the City People's Council...

In 2025, the city set a target of 12.25% economic growth. To reach this figure, the economy must accelerate in the fourth quarter. The current "trio" in economic growth is determined to include: export, investment and consumption. In which, investment, especially public investment, is expected to be the driving force, "seed capital" to pull growth and promote investment in the whole society.

Standing Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Anh Quan recently chaired a meeting on public investment disbursement for the first 10 months of 2025. With the spirit of "racing against time", each number was reviewed, each "capital flow" was cleared, each project at risk of being delayed or missing progress was named... all for the goal of disbursing 100% of public investment capital and maintaining the city's economic growth momentum.

The city sets clear targets for each month. Specifically, by the end of October, the disbursement value reached VND 25,241 billion, reaching 70% of the plan; by the end of November, the disbursement value reached VND 27,984 billion, reaching 77.9% of the plan; by the end of December, the disbursement value reached VND 34,675 billion, reaching 96.6% and by January 31, 2026, the disbursement value was VND 38,729 billion, exceeding 7.9% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister to the city in 2025.

Entering the final stage, disbursing public investment capital, especially capital for transport projects, infrastructure, new rural construction, etc., to be completed on time and ahead of schedule will be a great driving force to promote economic growth. This requires each investor, department, industry, and locality to closely follow the disbursement scenario and economic growth of the city to make the best efforts.

In particular, the Department of Construction needs to regularly check the progress of works and projects to direct and urge investors and construction units to overcome difficulties and unfavorable weather conditions to speed up construction. The Department of Finance, Natural Resources and Environment must strictly implement the reduction of administrative procedures to work with investors to speed up the acceptance and settlement work.
