Project Management Board 7 has met with contractors constructing the Van Phong - Nha Trang Expressway to speed up the progress of the remaining items because the workload is still very large.
Speaking with Giao Thong Newspaper reporters, Mr. Tran Dinh Tuyen, Deputy Director of Project Management Board 7, said he had worked with representatives of contractors to re-evaluate the progress of the remaining items of the Van Phong - Nha Trang expressway.
The workload is still very large, requiring contractors constructing the Van Phong - Nha Trang expressway to make efforts to complete it.
According to Mr. Tuyen, with the contractor's proposal to put into use nearly 70km of Van Phong - Nha Trang expressway before Tet, this is the wish of the contractor and the people.
Project Management Board 7 highly appreciates the efforts, determination and high determination of the contractor in the past time and in the coming days. Putting the expressway into use as soon as possible will increase the efficiency of project investment and create favorable conditions for people, especially during Tet.
However, through the results of the work, the investor and contractors also agreed that the construction volume on site is still very large. Currently, there is 1km of T19 asphalt concrete layer left, and 18km of C16 asphalt concrete layer left.
The foundation and road surface of the two intersections of National Highway 1 and National Highway 26 are under construction. Of the total 26 bridges, only about 12 have been completed, while the expansion joints of 14 have not been completed. Tan Lam Bridge has only completed 2/3 of the bridge deck, and the expansion joints and railings have not been constructed yet.
Currently, 7 overpasses are under construction of road surface foundations, of which 4 have not completed expansion joints. Traffic safety system, median strip has 16km left, guardrail has 21km left, fence has 23km left, sign painting has only reached 70%, the service road has about 3.7km left unfinished...

In addition, only one of the 6 slope reinforcement locations has been constructed, while the remaining 2km has not been constructed. The lighting system of the three intersections has not been constructed; the project serving the exploitation (rest stop) has just opened for bidding to select investors, and the site has not been handed over yet.
In addition, on the route there are 2 200Kv power lines, which have not been relocated due to exploitation impacts; 4 low voltage power lines and 14 metered power lines have not been relocated either...
"In general, the volume of work on the construction site is still very large. Another difficulty is that Khanh Hoa is in the rainy season, which greatly affects the asphalt concrete paving and road surface painting. The construction process is not continuous, and if not careful, it will affect the quality. The Board highly appreciates the efforts of the contractors, however, to complete the above items requires great efforts on the construction site," said Mr. Tuyen.
Along with that, according to Mr. Tuyen, to put the project into operation, it is necessary to follow the regulations on acceptance procedures, and to complete and put into use, it is necessary to examine traffic safety. To carry out these procedures, the construction must be completed before it can be examined and it also takes at least 7-10 days for the examination.
Contractors must complete all completion documents as prescribed in Decree 06/2021, which is very difficult. The investor will strictly control the project acceptance documents every day, however, due to the large volume, it will also take time.

In addition, the process of exploitation management and traffic organization must also be completed step by step. First, the consultant will establish the exploitation management process. The Department of Road Management will review, the Department of Infrastructure will appraise, and if the conditions are met, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Transport for approval. After this is completed, the investor will organize the acceptance of the facility, complete and put it into use. Then, report to the State Acceptance Council, organize a delegation to inspect the acceptance conditions for putting it into use.
If qualified and approved by the State Acceptance Council for use, the investor shall submit to the Ministry of Transport a document announcing the project's operation. The time to complete these procedures and work takes 15-30 days.
Mr. Tuyen said that both the investor and the contractor are working hard to complete the project as soon as possible. However, it depends on the weather and the ability of the competent authorities to complete the documents.
Tomorrow (December 20), the investor will invite relevant units such as the Department of Construction Investment Management (state management agency monitoring the construction process), Department of Infrastructure, National Highway 3, Department of Transport of Khanh Hoa province to work with the contractor and design consultant to go to the site, inspect and evaluate the level of completion and put into use, to prepare a report for the Ministry of Transport to consider.
Mr. Tuyen once again affirmed that the workload is still very large, requiring efforts from the investor, contractor and project participants. The investor's goal is to ensure quality, this is the most important requirement, not to disregard the quality of the project for the sake of progress. Second, it is necessary to ensure factors of traffic safety, human life is paramount. And finally, it is necessary to comply with the correct procedures when putting the project into operation.
The North-South Expressway, Van Phong - Nha Trang section, has a total length of more than 83km passing through Khanh Hoa province. In the phased phase, the project was invested with a scale of 4 lanes, 17m wide and a maximum speed of 90km/h. The total investment is more than 11,800 billion VND. It is expected that the project will be completed on April 30, 2025 according to the direction of the Prime Minister , shortening the construction time by about 8 months compared to the original plan.
