Currently, contractors are gathering materials, equipment and machines to deploy 7 construction works of digging, filling sand and red gravel on the roadbed, constructing sewers at the sections that have been handed over.

Currently, construction units are deploying 7 construction points at Provincial Road 823D project (New Northwest open axis connecting Long An and Ho Chi Minh City)

However, the biggest difficulty at present when implementing key traffic works is ground problems. Some sections are under construction, but the handover ground is not continuous; people received compensation yet have not dismantled their houses, structures, and graves; some households are waiting for the handover of the resettlement ground for dismantling and relocation, so the construction work was continuously interrupted. Some projects are still facing difficulties in funding as well as lack of material supply.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut speaks at the meeting

At the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut said that the Provincial People's Committee will create all conditions for timely allocation of capital to implement key traffic projects. However, localities also need to focus on timely implementation of resettlement areas that are better than the old ones so that people can feel secure about relocation, handing over the premises, creating consensus among people during project implementation.

Speaking at the meeting, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Nguyen Van Duoc affirmed that, through the survey and at the meeting, it can be seen that the progress of site clearance at key construction projects of two districts of Ben Luc and Duc Hoa have changed, showing great determination of the leaders of two localities and related sectors. This is a good condition for completing the site clearance and starting the projects, especially the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project., Provincial Road 830E project.

Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Nguyen Van Duoc asks Provincial People's Committee to direct branches and localities to overcome difficulties in implementing key traffic works as planned

However, the situation in the country and in the world continues to be difficult; the need for investment capital for development is very large yet the capital of the province is still limited; some regulations are still inadequate. These difficulties will affect the implementation of key transport projects of the province. Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Nguyen Van Duoc asked the Provincial People's Committee to direct relevant branches and localities to continue to perform well the site clearance work to proceed to start the projects as planned. Particularly for the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project, the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Transport need to coordinate well with localities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai to ensure that the construction works as planned.

Previously, the delegation of the Standing Provincial Party Committee directly surveyed many points at the projects of Provincial Road 830E,  Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3; Provincial Road 823D (New Northwest open axis connecting Long An and Ho Chi Minh City)./.
