In the last days of the year, almost all over the streets, people can easily recognize the urgent and hurried atmosphere present at the construction sites. Sharing with us, the representativeVinh City Urban Management Departmentsaid: compared to before, this year, the progress of public investment projects has changed significantly.

The construction progress behind schedule can also be extended to the following year, but now, to speed up the disbursement of public investment, the project will be accepted and paid for in stages, close to the construction volume. Any project that is behind schedule will not be extended to the following year and if there is no objective reason, the capital will be transferred and cut for other items and projects.

After more than 12 months of intensive construction, up to this point, basically all projects have been completed as planned. Since the beginning of the rainy season, projects such as the drainage ditch from Nguyen Phong Sac Street in front of the Orthopedic and Trauma Hospital to the North Canal, the project to pave the surface of ditch No. 2 from the starting point of Le Hong Phong Street to Nai Bridge, the drainage ditch project along Truong Chinh Street, from Ly Thuong Kiet Street to Vinh Railway Station Market have been completed.

Mr. Hoang Hong Khanh - Chairman of Vinh Urban Infrastructure Investment and Management Joint Stock Company shared: compared to other items, the construction of urban projects has its own difficulty in that it is easy to be behind schedule due to arising procedures related to other infrastructure projects. Just having problems related to power lines, telecommunications, or water pipes can cause delays for months and many additional costs.

After a period of handover and delivery of theflood control projectIn the area, the flood control works of Vinh city have been effective, at least in the rainy season of 2021. The Le Nin avenues intersecting with Duy Tan street, Dinh Le street, Nguyen Gia Thieu street, Tue Tinh street used to be the flood center, but now the water recedes after only 15-20 minutes of heavy rain.
