At the meeting, the representative of the Department of Transport said that up to now, the capital allocated for the Dai Hue Mountain Eco-tourism Road project is still short of 14.41 billion VND, and requested the Provincial People's Committee and the Departments to create conditions to arrange enough capital to pay the debt to the Contractor.

In addition, in the past, Thien Y Company Limited illegally exploited soil on the slope of the excavation foundation at K0+100, damaging the longitudinal ditch, the slope of the excavation foundation, dirtying the road surface, affecting the aesthetic quality and destroying the landscape of the road to Dai Hue Pagoda.

Faced with the above situation, the Department of Transport has detected and promptly directed the Traffic Inspectorate to impose fines and prohibit exploitation. Therefore, it is recommended that local authorities control and strictly prohibit organizations and individuals from illegally exploiting soil along both sides of the road slope, affecting the quality and landscape of the Dai Tue Pagoda Road Project.

After listening to the opinions of local authorities, departments, contractors, and concluding the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien highly appreciated the efforts of the investor and contractor in constructing the project, putting the road into effective use; and emphasized that Dai Tue Pagoda is a spiritual and cultural work that attracts a lot of tourists.

However, there are still some shortcomings on the route: the first 500m of the route is invested by the District People's Committee but has not been built yet, there are some sections on the route where 2 large vehicles cannot avoid, some cases of illegal house construction pose potential complications for security and order on the route...

There are currently illegal houses built on both sides of the road to Dai Hue Mountain. We request the local authorities to resolve this issue immediately. All land along both sides of the road needs to be leveled to plant trees to ensure the landscape and safety for people and vehicles.

To ensure the safety of tourists, in addition to reviewing the sign system, planting guardrails, checking landslides, negative slopes, positive slopes... there needs to be a master plan for the traffic system connecting the road to Dai Hue mountain, tourist attractions in the district, as well as in the province.

Currently, the starting point up the mountain is still narrow, therefore, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Transport to advise on a plan to clear houses along both sides of the road, a 500m section at the foot of the mountain, to expand the route.

For Nam Dan district, it is recommended to hand over the first 500m section of the road up the mountain to the Department of Transport, focus on site clearance for this route, direct the settlement of illegal encroachment in August 2017; at the same time, pay attention to ensuring security and order at Dai Tue pagoda.
