However, after many years of construction, both projects are still unfinished and have to be extended, while the flood season is approaching. This not only causes a huge waste of public investment resources but also causes many difficulties in daily trading and travel of the people.
Two years ago, the CAND Newspaper published on August 5, 2023 published an article "Two key road projects in the highlands of Quang Nam are being constructed at a "snail's pace", why", reflecting the sluggish construction situation at the DH1.PS project, Phuoc Kim - Phuoc Thanh commune section, and the DH2.PS project, Phuoc Thanh - Phuoc Loc commune section (now these two projects are located in Phuoc Thanh commune, Da Nang city after merging the three communes of Phuoc Kim, Phuoc Thanh, Phuoc Loc of Phuoc Son district, Quang Nam province, into Phuoc Thanh commune). Both of these projects were previously invested by the People's Committee of Phuoc Son district, with the goal of repairing and overcoming the DH1.PS and DH2.PS routes damaged by floods and landslides in 2020, in order to ensure smooth traffic, serve travel needs, stabilize people's lives, and contribute to promoting local socio-economic development; Project implementation period from 2021-2024.
The DH1.PS project is undertaken by the joint venture of Minh Khang Construction Services Co., Ltd. and Thai Duong Construction Co., Ltd. (with the main items being the restoration and repair of the roadbed and surface with a length of 13.56km; construction of 2 new bridges to replace 2 damaged and washed away slab bridges; construction of 54 box culverts to replace buried and damaged culverts); started on January 8, 2022. The DH2.PS project is undertaken by the joint venture of Thanh Tri Co., Ltd. - Nguyen Khang Co., Ltd. - Trung Trung Bo Construction Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. - Quang Nam Development Joint Stock Company, with the items of restoration and repair of the roadbed and surface with a length of 8.37km and reinforcement of the roadside utilizing the road surface with a length of 0.18km; construction of 4 new bridges; Construct 37 culverts to replace damaged and buried old culverts and design new culverts, 1 upstream connecting culvert, utilize 3 old culverts in good condition...; started on May 6, 2022.
However, although it has been exactly 2 years since the article was reported, on August 6, 2025, according to the actual records of the CAND Newspaper reporter, the construction status at the 2 projects DH1.PS and DH2.PS is still very slow, many items are still unfinished, causing many difficulties for people to travel. Mr. Ho Van Cu (residing in Hamlet 1 Nuoc, Phuoc Thanh Commune) said that the slow construction of the road, which has not been completed yet, has caused frustration for local people. "It is very difficult for us to travel, the most fearful thing is when the rainy season is approaching, if the road construction continues to be slow and sluggish like this, it will be very worrying in terms of natural disaster prevention and control as well as rescue and relief when situations arise", Mr. Cu expressed.
Mr. Do Hoai Xoan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phuoc Thanh Commune, Da Nang City, said that the construction of the DH1.PS and DH2.PS projects is progressing too slowly, causing great frustration among local officials and people. Many times, people have reported this situation and at a recent meeting with the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the Phuoc Thanh Commune government also requested the city's leaders to pay attention to directing relevant departments and units to promptly complete the construction of these two projects. “The roads are seriously damaged and degraded while the construction and repair work has been very slow, lasting for many years, causing difficulties for people to travel, especially in taking sick people to the emergency room at the Medical Center in Phuoc Son commune. While this year's flood season is approaching, if the construction of the DH1.PS and DH2.PS projects continues to be sluggish, not knowing when they will be completed, we are very worried that when a natural disaster occurs, it will be very difficult to prevent and combat it,” said Mr. Xoan, adding that in addition to the DH1.PS and DH2.PS projects, in Phuoc Thanh commune, there is currently a DH5.PS road project under construction that is also very slow.
A representative of the Phuoc Son area Construction Investment Management Board (BQLĐTXD) said that due to the delay in the construction progress of the DH1.PS and DH2.PS projects, the project completion time has been adjusted to December 31, 2025. The reason for the delay was due to the rainy weather in the mountainous commune of Phuoc Thanh, high prices of raw materials, etc. As of August 3, the value of the volume achieved by the 2 contractors of the DH1.PS project was more than 70% of the contract value; while the value of the volume achieved by the 4 contractors at the DH2.PS project was only more than 66% of the contract value. With the volume value of the two projects as above, the representative of the Phuoc Son Area Construction Investment Management Board said that the risk of having to extend the progress is very likely to happen, because the deadline assigned to complete the project on December 31, 2025 is approaching, while the upcoming flood season this year will make the construction even more difficult.
For more information about the DH5.PS road project in Phuoc Thanh commune, the Phuoc Son Area Construction Investment Management Board said that the project was approved by the People's Committee of Quang Nam province (old) in Decision No. 2254/QD-UBND dated August 9, 2021 and approved the contractor selection plan in Decision No. 2540/QD-UBND dated September 1, 2021. The project has a total approved investment of 90 billion VND; the construction unit is a consortium of contractors Trung Trung Bo Construction Investment Consulting Joint Stock Company and Thanh Son Construction Company Limited. The DH5.PS road project started on April 25, 2022, with the adjusted completion date being December 31, 2025. However, the value of the volume achieved by the two contractors as of August 3, 2025 is only more than 46% of the contract value. This project is also facing the risk of having to adjust its schedule (!).
The two projects DH1.PS and DH2.PS are very important, being the main route leading from Ho Chi Minh road to the mountainous commune of Phuoc Thanh, where many ethnic minorities live. The local government and people hope that the leaders of Da Nang city will pay attention and promptly direct relevant agencies to remove difficulties and speed up the construction progress (including the DH5.PS road project); at the same time, clarify the responsibilities of units and individuals related to the delayed construction of these projects.
