Quickly resolve difficulties and problems
Reporting to the working delegation, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Viet Hung said that the four projects have a total length of 257.5 km, accounting for about 26% of the total number of projects that must be completed to achieve the goal of putting 3,000 km of expressways into operation by 2025 and ensuring the goal of opening the expressway from Cao Bang to Ca Mau.
As of May 29, regarding site clearance and relocation of technical infrastructure, Tuyen Quang province has basically completed 69.7/69.7 km of the main line (not including 8.1 km added due to project adjustments). The province is currently continuing to relocate 110Kv and 0.4Kv power lines and communication lines. Ha Giang province has completed site clearance and relocation of technical infrastructure. Cao Bang province has basically completed, some local locations have arisen due to design adjustments during the implementation process, however, they have not affected the construction work.
In Lang Son province, the Dong Dang - Tra Linh project has basically completed the handover of the site, with 10 households yet to be relocated (for the additional site due to design adjustments, the locality has not approved the compensation plan because the adjustment of the land use plan to 2030 in Van Lang district has not been approved). The Huu Nghi - Chi Lang project has about 1.99/59.87 km of clean site yet to be handed over; there are still some locations where people's houses are stuck and construction cannot be carried out. The project enterprise has just handed over the adjusted site clearance boundary to the locality for about 20/38.14 hectares to carry out additional site clearance.
Regarding the construction situation, investors and contractors have increased the mobilization of machinery, equipment and human resources, but the progress and output of the projects have changed slowly. The Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang project, the section through Tuyen Quang reached 38.37%, 16.6% behind the plan; the section through Ha Giang reached 60%, 12% behind the plan. The Dong Dang - Tra Linh project reached 28.12%, exceeding the plan by 0.26%. However, the progress is being evaluated based on the plan to complete the route in 2025 on the K95 layer, the Ministry of Construction has proposed to re-establish the progress according to the goal of completing the route on the asphalt concrete layer. The Huu Nghi - Chi Lang project reached 20.33%, 2.6% behind the second adjusted plan (28% behind the plan approved by the province).
Regarding capital, all four provinces: Tuyen Quang, Ha Giang, Cao Bang, and Lang Son reported difficulties in balancing capital sources. Specifically, the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang project, the section passing through Tuyen Quang province, lacks 1,800/2,300 billion VND of local budget capital compared to the commitment when preparing the feasibility study report. The province proposed to allocate an additional 1,800 billion VND from local budget capital. At the same time, the allocation of an additional 2,000 billion VND from the source of increased central budget revenue in 2023 has been approved by competent authorities.
The Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang project, the section passing through Ha Giang province, is facing difficulties in balancing the local budget to have enough capital to implement the project. The province has proposed to support an additional 1,380 billion VND from the local budget to complete the first phase of the project and an additional 1,500 billion VND to implement the expansion phase, completing 4 lanes (the policy is being adjusted). The Dong Dang - Tra Linh project has proposed to supplement about 3,420 billion VND from the central budget. The Huu Nghi - Chi Lang project has proposed to supplement about 2,700 billion VND from the central budget.
