Quang Ninh urgently removes difficulties for key riverside road project

Faced with the current situation that the key riverside road project connecting Ha Long - Hai Phong expressway to Dong Trieu (section from Provincial Road 338 to Dong Trieu) has not achieved the expected progress, Chairman of Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khang has requested the investor and contractors to closely coordinate with relevant departments, branches and localities to urgently resolve the difficulties and problems.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that promoting investment and construction is a particularly important task of the province to ensure the target of economic growth. Therefore, accelerating the completion of works and projects and promoting public investment disbursement is considered a mandatory task in the "sprint" period of the last months of the year.

Therefore, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the investor and contractors to closely coordinate with relevant departments, branches and localities to actively expand and search for suitable sources of raw materials, expand the supply of soil and sand for the project; continue to promote the role of local leaders in effectively implementing site clearance work, creating favorable conditions for contractors to organize construction to ensure progress and plans as set out; investors and contractors need to have appropriate construction plans in adverse weather conditions and have solutions to compensate for progress when the weather is favorable.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested contractors to deploy movements, launch emulation campaigns at construction sites, mobilize human resources, vehicles, and work overtime to speed up progress. During the implementation process, special attention must be paid to technical, aesthetic and labor safety factors, ensuring the goals, project progress plans and disbursement work of 2025.

The riverside road project has encountered many difficulties due to the construction on a completely new route, passing through many complex geological locations, many swamps and rivers... Specifically, there are still more than 8 hectares of undelivered land on the route, the supply of sand on the market is scarce, and the price has increased dramatically in the recent short period (an average increase of 50% -100%).

Along with that, the supply of earth filling materials is not enough to meet the construction schedule, so mobilizing them to supply the package is difficult, while the weak soil treatment items must be constructed first, especially the weak soil treatment solution using wicks (about 2.34km) which must wait for settlement for about 6 months. In addition, the heavy rains that have lasted for many days in the past 2 months have greatly affected the construction schedule and disbursement plan of the package...

Up to now, the project has basically completed the construction of the main structure of 12/13 bridges, especially the Song Uong bridge connecting Uong Bi area with Quang Yen due to complex geology, muddy soil interspersed with many layers of caster caves, so the treatment work takes a long time. Currently, the Song Uong bridge has completed the construction of bored piles, pouring concrete for piers, and is implementing the cantilever casting construction at about 90%, the beam installation has reached nearly 30%, and the casting of Super T beams has reached 40/80 beam slabs. As for the road items, the contractor is currently focusing on treating the weak ground by replacing soil and adding loads, and installing wicks at the roadbed items.
