Suffering because upgrading 2km of road has not been completed in Binh Duong for more than 3 years

On the morning of March 16, reporters reported Tien Phong It was noted that Huynh Van Luy street, the section from Binh Duong new city roundabout to the intersection with Tran Ngoc Len street (Phu My ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province) is fenced and machinery is under construction.

Huynh Van Luy Street from the junction of National Highway 13 to the Binh Duong new city roundabout is about 7km long. There are about 2km from the intersection with Tran Ngoc Len street to the roundabout without median strip, sidewalk, or lights.

At the end of 2020, this section of road was invested in and upgraded, with official construction of items such as storm water drainage system, sidewalks, trees, and lighting. Up to now, over the past 3 years, the project is still in disarray, the construction unit continuously erects barriers on Huynh Van Luy street to ensure safety.

This project is constructed by Dai Phong Infrastructure Construction Joint Stock Company, with a total investment capital of 109 billion VND. According to the original plan, the construction deadline for completing the entire route is 10 months. After that, the construction unit continuously asked for an extension (3 times) but so far the progress has only reached about 65%.

According to the representative of the construction unit, the reason the project has not been completed is because of difficulties in site clearance. Up to now, only about 66% of the entire route has been cleared. Currently, the project still has problems with some households who have not handed over the site because the compensation unit price has not been agreed upon.

While the authorities are struggling to find a solution to hand over the site, the people living on the side of the road who have handed over the site are suffering because of the unfinished construction.

“The unfinished construction project for a long time has greatly affected the lives of people in the area. In front of the house gate, the road was dug up but construction was slow, every time going in and out of the house was very difficult" - Mr. Tuan, a household living on Huynh Van Luy street (Phu My ward, Thu Dau Mot city) said.

On this approximately 2km long road under construction, there are hundreds of large and small businesses that are being affected.

Mr. Sang, owner of a restaurant on Huynh Van Luy street, where construction is underway, said: "Because the road is under construction, the entrance to the restaurant is difficult and there is dust, so customers are afraid to enter. Because the business has been in business for a long time and waiting for the road to be completed, it still holds on. Not only me, people in the affected area hope that the authorities will soon speed up the progress to complete the project."

As noted by newspaper reporters Tien Phong, Huynh Van Luy street is connected from National Highway 13 to the Administrative Center of Binh Duong province (Binh Duong new city) going straight to Bac Tan Uyen district, Phu Giao district. This route is also chosen by many people when going to Binh Phuoc province, so the traffic is heavy. Half of the road is fenced and construction is prolonged, not only affecting people in the area but also people and vehicles participating in traffic.
