The Ho Chi Minh Road project through 4 southern provinces has just 'missed the deadline' to reach the finish line.

TPO - The Ho Chi Minh road project connecting Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, Tay Ninh and Long An provinces is nearly 73km long, with an investment capital of more than 2,300 billion VND. The road was expected to be technically opened to traffic on the occasion of the April 30 holiday, but was delayed due to land clearance compensation issues.

On May 6, Tien Phong reporter noted that the Ho Chi Minh road project connecting Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, Tay Ninh and Long An provinces could not be technically opened to traffic as planned.

Speaking to reporters regarding the Ho Chi Minh Road project that missed its deadline, a representative of the contractor constructing the Chon Thanh (Binh Phuoc) - Duc Hoa (Long An) section passing through Binh Duong province said that according to plan, the road would be open to traffic on the occasion of the April 30 holiday. However, the problems have not been resolved so far, so it cannot be opened to traffic as planned.

For the project points and sections that are not subject to site clearance, the construction unit has basically completed the asphalt concrete paving, meeting the conditions for traffic opening. Road markings and the traffic system are expected to be completed by May 15. However, to reach this milestone, relevant localities and investors need to promptly resolve site clearance difficulties.

Land acquisition problems caused the Ho Chi Minh Road Project to miss its scheduled opening date on April 30.

The construction unit said that the project output has reached over 80% of the contract value. To date, 3/6 bridges have been completed, namely Kenh Phuoc Hoa, Cay Truong and Suoi Tre bridges; the remaining 3 bridges (Ba Tu, Thi Tinh and Thanh An bridges) are basically completed. The entire route can be technically opened to traffic on asphalt concrete, except for locations with difficult ground clearance.

Locations still stuck with site clearance include the section through Bau Bang district (Binh Duong), stuck with technical infrastructure works, optical cable line Km14+350 (DT.750 intersection), medium and low voltage power line Km14+350 (DT.750 intersection).

The section passing through Dau Tieng district (Binh Duong) is still stuck with site clearance at the DT.744 intersection, Km 40 + 020; DT.749 A intersection, Km22 + 000; Rubber farm intersection DH.712, Km36 + 306; Rubber farm intersection DH.711, Km37 + 242; Rubber farm intersection DT.749-749D, Km 23 + 385; Rubber farm intersection DT.717, Km25 + 799; Stuck with technical infrastructure works at the medium and low voltage road Km22 + 00 (DT.749A intersection), medium voltage line Km30 + 300 (DT.748 intersection), medium and low voltage line Km 40 + 020 (DT.744 intersection).

Ho Chi Minh road project is basically completed, only some locations are stuck with land clearance

The Ho Chi Minh Highway construction project, Chon Thanh - Duc Hoa section, has a total investment of nearly 2,300 billion VND, passing through the provinces of Binh Phuoc , Binh Duong, Tay Ninh, and Long An. According to the plan, the Ho Chi Minh Highway, Chon Thanh - Duc Hoa section, is a 6-lane highway with a design speed of 100 km/h. The first phase is invested with a scale of 2 lanes.

The project is 72.75km long, starting at the border area of ​​Chon Thanh town (Binh Phuoc) and Bau Bang district (Binh Duong province); ending at the intersection with National Highway N2 (now Ho Chi Minh Road, Duc Hoa district, Long An province). The project is divided into 3 bidding packages.

Road markings and traffic system expected to be completed by May 15

In order for the project to achieve the set progress, the construction unit requested the authorities of Binh Duong province, Bau Bang and Dau Tieng districts to urgently complete compensation and site clearance; have a plan to mobilize households to hand over the site to the project early, and relocate the fiber optic cable and medium power line soon. Request Dau Tieng Rubber One Member Co., Ltd. to facilitate the cutting down of rubber trees to hand over the site to the project.
