Quang Tri adjusts project capital for road connecting to the airport.
During the feasibility study for the project connecting Quang Tri Airport with National Highway 1, the estimated implementation costs were found to have increased compared to the initial estimates.
The project to connect Quang Tri Airport with National Highway 1 was approved by the Quang Tri Provincial People's Council on December 9, 2021. The Provincial People's Committee assigned the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board as the investor, aiming to support the investor in building Quang Tri Airport and serving socio -economic development in the province.
According to the investment policy decision, the project scope includes: a road connecting Quang Tri Airport from National Highway 1 to the coastal road, with a length of 11.5 km. Phase I of the project involves investing in the connecting section from Quang Tri Airport to National Highway 1, with a length of 4.3 km, built to the standards of a Class III road in a flat area. The project has a total investment of VND 89.6 billion, of which VND 40.6 billion is from the central government's targeted support budget and VND 49 billion is from the provincial budget.
Regarding the project implementation status, in September 2023, the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board approved the tasks for surveying, designing, and estimating costs for investment preparation work in the feasibility study phase. In October 2023, the Management Board approved the plan for selecting contractors for investment preparation work; in November 2023, it approved the results of the contractor selection for Package No. 01, consulting services for surveying and preparing the feasibility study.
According to the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board, during the process of conducting surveys and preparing feasibility studies, the prices of materials, fuel, labor, and compensation for land clearance have increased, making it difficult to select an appropriate investment scale for the total investment amount.
According to the approved investment plan, the total investment cost is calculated based on the investment cost per unit as stipulated in Decision No. 65/QD-BXD dated January 20, 2021, of the Ministry of Construction on the issuance of investment cost per unit for construction projects and the comprehensive construction price of structural components in 2020. However, the investment plan does not address the approval of the connection point with National Highway 1 at Km750+304; nor does it consider solutions for handling weak soil foundations and settlement waiting time.
Currently, investment costs have changed, with fuel prices, material prices, labor costs, and compensation for land clearance increasing significantly compared to 2020. Based on the direction of the Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee, the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board has prepared a report proposing an adjustment to the investment policy for the project connecting Quang Tri Airport with National Highway 1.
According to the proposed adjustments to the new investment plan, the total investment for the project has been increased to VND 147.4 billion, of which VND 67 billion will be from the central government budget and VND 80.39 billion from the provincial budget. Regarding the scale adjustments, to maintain the land area according to the planned scale (48.5 m wide cross-section), an investment plan will be applied with two access roads on each side, each built to the standards of a Class VI road in the plains… The project implementation period is proposed to be adjusted from 2022-2025 to 2023-2026 (4 years).
"The project will only begin in 2023, and the connection of the branch road to the National Highway at Km750+304 is awaiting approval from the Ministry of Transport. Furthermore, the road involves treating weak soil using the method of surcharge loading, with a settlement waiting period of approximately 8 months," explained the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board.
According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Director of the Quang Tri Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board, the Board has completed the dossier and submitted a report proposing the adjustment of the investment policy for the project to the Department of Transport, which is the unit assigned by the Provincial People's Committee to prepare and conduct internal appraisal of the report.
