Regarding construction work, the 23.06 km section through Vinh Linh district has basically completed 2/3 of the bridge; the road section has constructed the roadbed for 6.3 km/23.06 km. The value of implementation to date is 17 billion VND/309 billion VND, reaching 5.4%.

The current difficulties and obstacles are due to changes in policies, regulations and laws of the State, and adjustments to the route to suit the current situation, so the costs of some items including resettlement, site clearance, construction costs... have arisen, expected to increase by about 681 billion VND compared to the total approved investment. These additional costs have not been approved and arranged, which will greatly affect the progress of site clearance, construction of resettlement areas and the progress of disbursement of central capital allocated for construction and installation.

Localities have not completed the relocation of infrastructure and technical works; have not completed the work of determining the origin of land use, building resettlement areas and clearing forests owned by the people and managed by the State. Vinh Linh district has not approved the land use plan for 2025, so according to regulations, it is not allowed to approve the compensation and land recovery plan.

For the coastal road project, the section through Cua Tung and Cua Viet bridges has a total investment of 600 billion VND, and is scheduled to be completed in 2025. Of which, the section through Cua Tung bridge is 3.16 km long, starting at the intersection with DT.574 road in Vinh Linh district, and ending at the intersection with DT.576 Dong road in Gio Linh district.

Currently, the GPMB stake placement work has been completed, and the cadastral survey work is being completed. It is expected that the land acquisition notice will be submitted before April 20; the land inventory will be organized after the land acquisition notice is issued in April 2025; the public price will be applied in May 2025; the compensation and support plan will be approved and the site will be handed over in June 2025.

After the on-site inspection, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Tien requested the contractor to take advantage of favorable weather to urgently mobilize additional machinery and personnel to work overtime and increase shifts to speed up the construction progress. Vinh Linh and Gio Linh districts should strengthen propaganda and mobilize people to agree on compensation and support for land acquisition and clearance; speed up the progress of determining the origin of land use and land use rights to promptly hand over the site to the contractor. Assign relevant departments and branches to closely coordinate with the Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board in appraising and adjusting the investment policy to promptly submit to the Provincial People's Council for approval to speed up the land acquisition and clearance work and complete the project according to the approved schedule.
