Slow change
During a field inspection at the construction site of Truong Giang Bridge (Thang Binh District) and some sections of the route in Tien Phuoc District, the construction site was still deserted and could not be bustling after the direction of the Provincial Party Secretary since the inspection last March.
According to the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project will invest in building about 31.5km of roads passing through 4 districts: Thang Binh, Phu Ninh, Tien Phuoc and Bac Tra My.
Total investment is more than 768 billion VND (equivalent to 34.514 million USD; of which ODA capital from the Korean Government is 25.474 million USD; counterpart capital is 9.04 million USD).
The project started in July 2023 and is expected to be completed in December 2025. However, the handed-over area to date has only reached about 12.48/31.5km, and the actual value to date has only reached 80/516 billion VND (15.5%).
Within the area of the handed over site, there are some construction segments that are not continuous, with many medium and low voltage power poles, telecommunication cables and power grids behind the meter (on National Highway 40B). At the Tai Da - Tien Ky section and component 2 (in Phu Ninh, Thang Binh), the construction unit encountered difficulties in the source of fill soil.
“The project implementation period under the loan agreement, effective from October 28, 2020, is extended to October 28, 2024, which means it is almost over. Meanwhile, in localities, a series of problems have appeared, leading to the construction progress being affected.
The section through Thang Binh district is only 2km long, but there are still many problems related to some long-term shrimp ponds of local people, checking 5% of land in Binh Nam commune, there is no specific land price for residential land to apply. In addition, the Nghia Hoa resettlement project has only just approved the project, and has not yet arranged resettlement for affected households" - Mr. Nguyen Van Thuong, Deputy Director of the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board informed.
According to Mr. Nguyen Hung Anh - Vice Chairman of Tien Phuoc District People's Committee, the compensation and site clearance work for the Central Region Linkage Project has been directed by the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the District People's Committee to be implemented vigorously, but the progress has not met the plan. Particularly for the two communes of Tien My and Tien Phong, 4.8/7km have been handed over, reaching 69% of the volume, and is expected to be completed in the coming July.
“Some households have opinions about the road surface of the construction project being higher or lower than the housing project. In addition, the regulations on compensation unit price and compensation unit for cardamom trees are not really suitable. Cardamom is a tropical plant, likes shade, grows in clumps, making it difficult to calculate the number of trees. The District People's Committee proposed the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to adjust the compensation unit price for cardamom trees to suit the reality for implementation" - Mr. Hung Anh said.
Focus on key projects
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tam - Director of the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board said that there is a lot of work left, the closer to the end the more pressure there is on the construction. The section through Thang Binh is only 2km, but it may be the last of the routes due to many procedures.
“The Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board recommends that the Provincial People's Committee resolutely direct localities and departments to focus highly on compensation and site clearance work to meet project progress.
At the same time, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment is requested to focus on guiding and resolving local recommendations in the implementation of compensation, site clearance, and removing procedures to coordinate earth filling materials to speed up construction progress before the flood season.
For the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, we request that they urgently advise on issuing a decision to amend the compensation price for cardamom trees so that the locality has a basis for implementing the price and publicizing the compensation plan. Units including Quang Nam Electricity Company, Viettel Quang Nam , VNPT Quang Nam need to urgently coordinate to relocate technical infrastructure out of the project construction site" - Mr. Tam said.
Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet said that this is a key project, of great significance to socio-economic development. Localities will directly benefit from the project, so it is necessary to promote responsibility to complete it on schedule.
Three months after the last project inspection, localities and departments have taken more drastic and focused action, but the current progress is still very slow, with not much movement.
In the coming time, the Department of Construction and the Department of Transport will continue to monitor and coordinate during the implementation process, providing maximum support to localities. Telecommunications and electricity units will urgently relocate technical infrastructure away from the project construction site.
“The provincial traffic construction investment project management board focuses on closely coordinating with departments, branches, and localities, paying close attention to project progress, not “giving up” because of slow progress.
Must be extremely determined, regularly report progress and commit to construction on schedule, strictly implement the principle of focusing on construction as soon as the site is available, ensure labor safety, traffic safety, and closely implement related tasks.
Localities must uphold their sense of responsibility for this project, direct the Fatherland Front, mass mobilization, and sectors and organizations to participate" - Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet directed.
