Focus on resolving difficulties and soon implementing the Vinh-Cua Lo Boulevard project

(Baonghean.vn)- Voters in Nghi Loc district reported that the implementation of the Vinh - Cua Lo boulevard project is very slow, and site clearance is still facing many difficulties.

The relevant authorities responded to this issue as follows:

- Regarding construction and installation implementation: Vinh - Cua Lo Boulevard Project, invested by the Department of Transport, approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 994/QD-UBND dated March 3, 2010, has implemented construction of the section Km7+775 - Km10+832 since September 2012 and has basically been completed. However, by the end of 2014, due to difficulties in capital sources, the project had to temporarily stop construction.

On November 21, 2016, the Ministry of Planning and Investment planned to allocate 1,100 billion VND of Government bonds for the 2016-2020 period for the Vinh - Cua Lo Boulevard project. To continue implementing the project, after balancing the capital sources, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee agreed to adjust the specific project scale: Adjust the cross-sectional scale of the section from Km0+00 ÷ Km7+775 from 160m to 95m, the section from Km7+775 ÷ Km10+832 under construction will remain the same as the approved plan (Document No. 495-TB/TU dated December 8, 2015 of the Provincial Party Committee, Document No. 9222/UBND-CN dated November 30, 2016 of the Provincial People's Committee).

The project section through Cua Lo town has been opened, creating a modern landscape.

The implementation process needs to complete related legal procedures such as: Planning adjustment dossiers reported to the Ministry of Construction for submission to the Prime Minister for approval of adjustment of Vinh city's master plan until 2030; Adjusting related plans, finalizing old projects, approving project investment policies (new projects) and conducting survey and design steps to establish projects, design construction drawings... Up to now, the Department of Transport is completing the procedures and is expected to implement the project in September 2017.

- Regarding site clearance work: Currently, Vinh City People's Committee, Nghi Loc District People's Committee and Cua Lo Town are focusing on implementing site clearance work including: Inventory, pricing, confirmation of land origin, resettlement approval, construction of resettlement areas... However, in the implementation process, there are still many difficulties and problems, specifically:

+ The volume of land acquisition and clearance is large, the number of resettled households is large (about 200 households), many resettlement areas must be built (about 5 resettlement areas), the number of graves that need to be relocated is large (about 600), many public works (electricity, telecommunications...) must be relocated.

+ Some households in hamlet 9 and hamlet 18 of Nghi Phong commune requested that the resettlement location be within 300m from the foot of the project to both sides; they have not coordinated with the District Land Acquisition Council and the Commune People's Committee to conduct inventory, measurement, and make compensation plans; Some households requested that the resettlement area must be equal to the recovered area.

On August 23, 2017, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong - Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired a working session on the implementation of the Vinh - Cua Lo road project (Phase 1), directing departments, branches and localities to focus on resolving difficulties and obstacles, and promptly implement the project according to the set schedule./.
