1,700 billion bridge project "reaches the finish line" in 2023

Late in the morning of October 17, we were present at the Cua Luc 3 bridge project on the Thong Nhat side of Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province. In the dry late autumn sun, construction teams were busy finishing the installation of railings and paving of pedestrian areas before lunch break.

According to information from the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, the Cua Luc 3 bridge project has a total investment of more than 1,700 billion VND from the local budget. The project is invested by the Quang Ninh Provincial Management Board of Investment and Construction of Civil and Industrial Works, with Deo Ca Group leading the construction contractor consortium.

Real Estate - Quang Ninh: 1,700 billion bridge project — The Cua Luc 3 bridge project across Dien Vong River in Cua Luc Bay, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province has a total investment of more than 1,700 billion VND.

Cua Luc 3 Bridge is over 2.6 km long, designed to have 6 lanes, one end connecting to the main axis of FLC urban area in Ha Khanh ward, the other end intersecting with National Highway 279 in Cho village, Thong Nhat commune (in Ha Long city, Quang Ninh province).

Cua Luc 3 Bridge across Dien Vong River in Cua Luc Bay not only contributes to completing the transportation system in the region, but is also expected to narrow the geographical gap as well as economic conditions between Ha Long City and Hoanh Bo District after being merged (late 2019).

The Cua Luc 3 Bridge project started construction at the end of September 2020. According to the initial plan, after about 600 days of construction, the contractor will hand over and put the project into use in April 2022.

However, due to many difficulties, including Quang Ninh province having to adjust the design and route to avoid negative impacts on the mangrove ecosystem of about 300 hectares that the project passes through, lack of filling materials, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was not completed as originally planned.

Faced with this situation, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province have repeatedly inspected the field and held meetings to listen to the difficulties and problems raised by investors and contractors. Thereby, they have directed relevant departments, branches, and local authorities to discuss and advise on solutions to promptly remove and resolve the problems.

Quang Ninh province also requested the contractor to make efforts to overcome difficulties and focus resources to soon bring the project to the "finish line" in 2023. Thanks to that, on September 16, 2023, Cua Luc 3 bridge was officially closed in the joy and excitement of the people as well as the local government.

By noon on October 17, more than a month after the project was closed, according to our observations, the construction unit had basically completed the rough parts of Cua Luc 3 Bridge, and was currently completing the remaining items, such as installing railings, paving the pedestrian section, and completing the approach road surface... In addition, the clearance of public road land and environmental restoration were being carried out to preserve the landscape of the area.

Talking to Nguoi Dua Tin , Mr. Pham Van Luyen - Party Secretary, Chairman of the People's Committee of Thong Nhat Commune, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, said that after completion, the Cua Luc 3 Bridge Project will shorten the distance from the commune to the center of Ha Long City from more than 16 km to about 11 km.

Not only will it create favorable traffic conditions for the people of Thong Nhat commune and 3 neighboring communes, including Vu Oai commune, Hoa Binh commune and Dong Lam commune with a population of over 20,000 people, but the Cua Luc 3 Bridge Project will also create conditions for local agricultural products to easily reach the consumption market in the inner city area. Thereby, increasing the value and economic efficiency to help local farmers.

“In the coming time, the Thong Nhat commune government will focus on propaganda work, arranging forces to protect Cua Luc 3 bridge as well as the 300-hectare mangrove forest at the foot of the bridge. In addition, it will coordinate to build a bridge tour program, arrange check-in photo spots... to exploit the potential and tourism advantages of the project”, Mr. Pham Van Luyen - Party Secretary, Chairman of Thong Nhat Commune People's Committee, shared .
