Localities must be held responsible if the Vinh - Cua Lo road is delayed.
(Baonghean.vn) - That is the guiding spirit of the Provincial People's Committee in the implementation plan of the Vinh - Cua Lo road project (phase 1) signed by Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh and just issued.
Vinh - Cua Lo road is a key route of Nghe An, which has been fully funded but is still stuck with site clearance. The route passes through Vinh city, Nghi Loc, Cua Lo, and is 90m wide. This is a vital route connecting Vinh - Cua Lo, creating strong development momentum for the two cities.
To speed up the site clearance progress, the Provincial People's Committee requested investors, departments, branches, Nghi Loc District People's Committee, Cua Lo Town and Vinh City to speed up the work of compensation, support, resettlement, relocation of technical infrastructure works, resolve problems to hand over the site in time; at the same time, direct the implementation of construction to complete the Vinh - Cua Lo road project (phase 1) on schedule.

The Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial Steering Committee for Compensation, Support and Resettlement to inspect and urge the Compensation Councils for Land Acquisition and Resettlement of localities where the road passes through; report monthly to the Provincial People's Committee to promptly resolve any problems, if any.
In particular, the Provincial People's Committee assigned Nghi Loc District, Cua Lo Town and Vinh City to be responsible before the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial People's Committee if the delay in site clearance affects the project's progress.
Localities must properly manage construction along both sides of the road; coordinate with the Department of Transport to prevent construction and encroachment on cleared land.
