MANY PROBLEMS IN LAND CLEARANCE
The meeting was held after the Provincial Party Secretary inspected a series of key transportation and healthcare projects in the province on the same morning.
At the meeting, the project investors reported on the difficulties and recommendations for the 4 traffic projects: Vinh - Cua Lo connecting road (phase 2); coastal road from Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa) - Cua Lo (Nghe An) from km7 - km76; road connecting National Highway 7C (Do Luong) to Ho Chi Minh road (Tan Ky); renovation and upgrading of National Highway 7 from km0 - km36 and the project to build Nghe An Oncology Hospital (phase 2).
For the coastal road from Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa) - Cua Lo (Nghe An) from km7 - km76, the main problem now is the site clearance work of more than 2.7km.
To meet the schedule of completing the entire route by December 2024, the investor, the Department of Transport, requested that the localities with remaining land clearance issues, including Dien Chau, Quynh Luu, and Hoang Mai, hand over the remaining 2.7km of uncleared land within the period from April 30, 2024 to May 10, 2024, and Nghi Loc district may be able to complete the project by May 20, 2024. At that time, contractors will focus on working in "3 shifts, 4 teams" to meet the schedule.
For the project of the Road connecting National Highway 7C (Do Luong) to Ho Chi Minh Road (Tan Ky), the investor proposed to focus on directing the implementation of site clearance at the intersection with National Highway 48E (Do Luong district); the intersection with Ho Chi Minh Road (Tan Ky district) to be completed before April 15, 2024; at the same time, it is recommended to arrange investment funds for 2.6km of road and 1 bridge connecting to National Highway 48E to maximize the effectiveness of the project.
Particularly for the Vinh - Cua Lo Road project (phase 2), the investor and related localities have discussed and agreed on a plan to handle cracks in households' houses.
Regarding the project to upgrade National Highway 7 from km0 - km36, up to now, the districts of Dien Chau, Yen Thanh, and Do Luong have handed over about 48.253km/55.212km (87.46%) of the land, including both left and right routes.
At the meeting, Mr. Tran Dinh Son - Deputy Director of Project Management Board 4, Vietnam Road Administration, representing the investor, said that according to the initial schedule, the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 7 must be completed by December 31, 2023. However, due to the unsatisfactory site clearance, the Ministry of Transport has extended the deadline to December 2024.
Therefore, the investor representative recommended that Nghe An province speed up site clearance work, handing over the project no later than May 2024 to meet the extended schedule.
Regarding the project to build Nghe An Oncology Hospital (phase 2), Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung - Director of the Hospital proposed that the City People's Committee direct the early settlement of the site clearance for 5 households; prioritize investment in building road infrastructure, surface drainage system, internal drainage ditches of Nghi Kim commune, Nghi Lien commune and the area surrounding the project; have a plan to relocate the cemetery in front of the hospital to ensure the beauty of the city gateway, and at the same time have land area to carry out the project items.
The investor also proposed to prioritize the allocation of the remaining funding of VND 597.5 billion (VND 380 billion in 2024, VND 217.5 billion in 2025) to complete the special project to complete the main building of 1,000 standard hospital beds to serve medical examination and treatment for the people; allocate additional funding to purchase medical equipment to serve medical examination and treatment at the new facility expected to be put into operation in 2025; allocate funding to move all facilities and equipment from facility 1 to facility 2 to ensure centralized and synchronous medical examination and treatment activities.
At the meeting, leaders of localities with projects being implemented, including Vinh City, Hoang Mai Town and districts: Nghi Loc, Dien Chau, Quynh Luu, Yen Thanh, Do Luong, Tan Ky, reported on site clearance work in the area and committed to specific site handover progress. Leaders of relevant departments such as: Natural Resources and Environment, Finance, Planning and Investment answered related issues under their authority.

Sharing the difficulties facing localities in site clearance, which are largely left over from history, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee exchanged views and specific solutions to resolve related issues.
