Ring Road 3 project through Ho Chi Minh City still seriously lacks sand

The demand for sand for roadbed construction of the Ring Road 3 Project through Ho Chi Minh City in 2024 is 3.7 million m3, but only 1.35 million m3 have arrived at the construction site, so there is still a huge shortage.

The demand for sand for roadbed construction of the Ring Road 3 Project through Ho Chi Minh City in 2024 is 3.7 million m3, but only 1.35 million m3 have arrived at the construction site, so there is still a huge shortage.

On December 5, the Ho Chi Minh City Transport Construction Investment Project Management Board (TCIP) sent a document to the Vietnam Expressway Administration reporting on the implementation status of the Ring Road 3 project through Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the report, up to now, the site clearance of the section through Ho Chi Minh City has reached 99.8% of the area. For the remaining area, the City will mobilize and enforce (if any) to clear 100% of the site in 2024.

For 10 main construction packages, contractors are accelerating the construction of bridges, tunnels on the route, roadbed construction... The output to date has reached 4,023 billion VND out of a total of 16,578 billion VND of 10 packages (reaching 24.3% of the construction value).

For 4 operation and exploitation packages, the design is being appraised and approved, and the implementation progress is following the progress of the main construction and installation packages.

Disbursement from the beginning of the year to the end of November 2024 reached 1,597 out of the total 5,262 billion VND of capital assigned in 2024 (reaching 30.3%).

Regarding the sand supply situation for the Project, to date, localities have licensed 6 sand mines for the Project, and it is expected that the remaining 7 mines will be licensed in December 2024.

Currently, the volume of sand mobilized for the construction of the Project has reached about 1.35 million m3. This volume is less than half of the Project construction requirement in 2024, which is 3.7 million m3.

Therefore, TCIP recommends that competent authorities request and localities continue to speed up licensing procedures for remaining sand mines to provide sand for filling the Ring Road 3 Project, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Ring Road 3 section passing through Ho Chi Minh City is over 47 km long. The total investment for construction and installation is 22,412 billion VND. The cost of site clearance is 25,610 billion VND.
