Accompanying the delegation were comrades: Nguyen Dinh Hung - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Chief of the Provincial Party Committee Office; Hoang Quoc Viet - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment; Pham Van Hoa - Director of the Department of Industry and Trade; and leaders of relevant localities.

The 500kV line project, circuit 3 from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen) is a national key project, large-scale with a length of about 519 km double circuit passing through 9 provinces, of which nearly 100 km passes through Nghe An province with 2 component projects: Quang Trach - Quynh Luu and Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa.

Thoroughly implementing the Prime Minister's guiding principle, "wires do not wait for poles, poles do not wait for foundations, foundations cannot be done by just one person", Nghe An provincial leaders have focused on directing relevant levels, sectors and localities to coordinate with investors and construction units to synchronously deploy the work, which has been basically completed so far.

Nghe An has handed over the entire area of ​​column foundations (202/202) and the entire corridor of the route (203/203 column spaces, 88/88 anchor spaces).

In the province, there are 53 households affected by land acquisition for project implementation (Nam Dan district: 19 households, Nghi Loc district: 9 households, Yen Thanh district: 2 households, Dien Chau district: 19 households, Hoang Mai town: 4 households), of which 18 households requested resettlement land allocation (Nam Dan district: 1 household, Nghi Loc district: 5 households, Dien Chau district: 12 households).

Of the 18 resettled households, 9 have houses on land, and the People's Committees of the districts are completing legal procedures to hand over the resettlement land. Currently, the households have basically dismantled their houses and handed over the land, while 1 household in Nghi Loc district is dismantling, expected to be completed before July 15, 2024, and 1 household in Hoang Mai town is expected to relocate before July 25, 2024, ensuring progress before connecting to the grid.

Leaders of Nghe An province have repeatedly directly inspected, urged and encouraged the forces at the site; at the same time, directed and supported the investor and contractor to organize the project construction locally in the spirit of "4 on-site" (construction machinery, unskilled labor, construction materials in the foundation stage and logistics).

This morning, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy directly inspected the construction at two positions of VT 409 column in Dien Thai commune, Dien Chau district and VT 422 in Do Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district.

Under the scorching hot weather, the investor, contractors, construction units, directly the engineers and workers on the construction site are focusing on construction with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain, "eating quickly, sleeping urgently", working continuously 24/7, "3 shifts, 4 shifts", "not enough work during the day, working at night", "working through Tet, through holidays, through holidays", "only discussing work, not discussing back" as directed by the Prime Minister.

Up to now, the province has completed casting foundations at 202/202 locations, erected 121 column locations, is erecting 81 column locations, completed pulling wires for 1 anchor span, and is pulling wires for 5 anchor spans.

Reporting to the Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, the investor representative said that currently, the leaders are all staying at the construction site, directing forces and vehicles to focus on construction, striving to complete the project on schedule.

At the inspection sites, comrade Thai Thanh Quy acknowledged the active and thorough participation of investors, contractors, and construction units; visited, encouraged, and commended officers, engineers, and workers who overcame the harsh heat to construct the project.

Through on-site inspection and understanding of the opinions of investors, units, and contractors, the remaining work (erecting columns, installing porcelain, pulling wires, and materials) requires professional, highly skilled, and experienced workers. The Secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee requested that units continue to make maximum efforts, overcome difficulties caused by the weather, and arrange enough human resources to both speed up construction progress and ensure quality and labor safety, contributing to bringing the entire project to the finish line on time.

Discussing with leaders of Dien Chau and Yen Thanh districts, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy noted the need to continue to ensure the best security and order; strictly manage the handed-over corridor; promptly support and resolve arising issues, creating the most favorable conditions for the project to ensure the set progress.

Talking to the youth union members, the head of the Provincial Party Committee acknowledged and commended the young people who have supported the project implementation in the past time (the whole province established 74 youth volunteer teams with the participation of more than 1,100 youth union members); thereby, requiring the need to continue to arrange forces to support construction units in traffic diversion, ensuring traffic during the wire pulling process, providing water for construction teams; sending forces to support cooking for workers if needed; supporting the return of the site after the completion of construction and continuing to propagate the importance of the 500kV line 3 to the people.
