Therefore, it is recommended that Do Luong and Tan Ky districts focus on directing the completion of the handover of the remaining site by June 15, 2024 at the latest.
After listening to the report, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung acknowledged and highly appreciated the efforts of the investor and contractor when in just 16 months they had completed a large volume of construction, expected to be 17 months ahead of schedule.
In the coming time, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested Tan Ky and Do Luong districts to focus on directing the completion of the handover of the remaining section by June 30, 2024 at the latest, especially making efforts to propagate and mobilize people to agree with the compensation plan, minimizing coercion. Localities must strengthen the management of planning on both sides of the road, to maximize the effectiveness of the project.
The investor directed the contractor to concentrate on machinery and construction workers to complete the route before June 30, 2024, and to complete the project before July 30, 2024. The province will arrange sufficient funding to implement the project. Thereby, when the project is completed, connecting with the existing N5 road will shorten the travel time from Tan Ky district to Vinh city by nearly 30 minutes and open up many development opportunities for localities along the route.
