Proposal to extend three land mines to build Bien Hoa

Dong Nai has proposed to extend the exploitation period of three mines with reserves of 600,000 m3 to serve the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway and key projects.

The proposal was made by the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee in an official dispatch sent to the Prime Minister on October 13 to resolve difficulties and obstacles in exploiting landfill materials for traffic projects in the area.

Previously, in 2020, the Provincial People's Committee licensed four projects to renovate agricultural land to serve the construction of the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay expressway project. Of which, the project in Xuan Loc district has been basically completed, while the remaining mine in Cam My district has not yet fully exploited the licensed reserves of 600,000 m3.

According to the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee, to implement key projects in the area, about 21.5 million m3 of land is needed for leveling. The locality has planned about 107 locations with a total area of 1,000 hectares for construction contractors to choose from and prepare documents to apply for exploitation of leveling materials.

However, up to now, legal procedures on minerals, investment, and land are still stuck, so only two investors have participated, with a total reserve of less than one million cubic meters of land. These two mines are temporarily suspended due to incomplete procedures to sign land lease contracts.

Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway (phase 1) is 53.7 km long, with 4-6 lanes, and a total investment of over VND17,800 billion. Of which, the section through Dong Nai is over 34 km long, with a total cost of over VND12,600 billion. This expressway section requires 5.3 million m3 of land for leveling. The investor previously proposed to take land from Long Thanh airport for construction, but the authorities have not yet made a decision.

The Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project started on August 18. The section passing through Vung Tau has cleared 77.6% of the land, while the land handover rate on the Dong Nai side is less than 6%, which risks affecting the overall progress of the entire project.
