According to the People's Committee of Dong Nai province, component project 3 of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, the section passing through Dong Nai province, is approximately 6 months behind schedule compared to the established critical path.
The delays were caused by slow land handover and delays in project documentation. In addition, a shortage of sand for embankment construction also significantly impacted the project.
Currently, the construction of Ring Road 3 through Dong Nai is about six months behind schedule.
Although construction started in June 2023, it took a year for the project components to become available for construction, resulting in low production output.
According to Mr. Tran Van Bay, Director of the Land Development Center of Nhon Trach district, 90% of the land for the Ring Road 3 project through Dong Nai province has been handed over to date.
Currently, the only obstacle is the section from the intersection with Road 25B to Vinh Thanh commune; other sections are basically cleared of obstacles.
"Currently, many households have not yet handed over the land, but the area is small and they have houses on the land. The unit will continue to persuade them, and if they still do not hand over by the end of September, coercive measures will be taken," Mr. Bay said.
It is known that component project 3 of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 has a total length of 11.2km, with 3 main construction packages. The total progress of the entire route to date has only reached about 10%.
Specifically, package number 26 – the bridge construction – has completed the bored pile construction for some piers and is currently constructing the foundation, body, and abutments… The road section has completed the excavation of organic matter and has had its formwork laid in some sections.
Some sections of the Ring Road 3 passing through Dong Nai have been paved with crushed stone.
Package No. 29 has completed the construction of bored piles for the 25C overpass, the construction of the T3, T4, and T5 pier bodies, and the beam casting yard. Construction continues on the drainage system along the 25C route and the bored piles at the 25B intersection, completing the drainage system along the route. Other projects are currently working on technical culverts and compacting the roadbed in some sections, with the value reaching over 12%.
Package 32, which is approximately 5km long, only started construction in September. However, this section basically has sufficient land available, so construction is proceeding smoothly.
Recently, the investor has requested the People's Committee of Nhon Trach district to expedite land compensation and clearance, prioritizing key locations. They have also requested the provinces of Tien Giang , Ben Tre, and Vinh Long to promptly complete the legal procedures so that the sand mines are eligible for exploitation and supply to the project. Furthermore, they have requested the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to preside over the allocation of sand for leveling from the aforementioned committed provinces.
Regarding land for embankment, the unit also requested that the local authorities promptly resolve the procedures and provide specific guidance so that land can be available for the implementation of the bidding packages.
Mr. Nguyen Linh, Deputy Director of the Dong Nai Transportation Construction Project Management Board, said that currently, the site for packages 29 and 32 is basically stable, so the Project Management Board has worked with the contractor to request increased machinery and personnel to speed up construction, working day and night, in 3 shifts and 4 teams. The Board is urging the units to focus on the bridge section first, while the road section is more difficult due to the rainy season. In addition, more equipment is being deployed so that work can be carried out immediately when the weather is dry.
Regarding package number 26, the site is currently uneven and difficult to work on, so the construction unit has instructed workers to focus on casting beams and completing other tasks at the staging area first.
“The current measure is that the Project Management Board, in coordination with the contractor and local authorities, continues to persuade people to give up their land for road construction. Specifically for package 26, we have proposed a plan to have people pay a deposit to secure access for construction, thus accelerating the pace of this project. We are striving to essentially complete the land clearance this month and receive all the land by the beginning of October,” Mr. Linh said.
The Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project commenced in June 2023. The 76km project passes through four localities: Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, and Long An .
The section passing through Dong Nai province alone has a total investment of nearly 2,600 billion VND. The project is scheduled to begin in 2022, be substantially completed in 2025, and be fully operational by 2026. The Dong Nai section starts in Vinh Thanh commune, Nhon Trach district. The end point will connect with the Nhon Trach bridge in Long Tan commune, Nhon Trach district (component 1A of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project).
Due to a sand shortage, the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project is still struggling to meet its deadline.
