Lang Giang bridge connecting road is about to be completed

The road connecting Lang Giang Bridge to Provincial Road 161 is 1.2 km long. This is an adjusted and supplemented item of the Lang Giang Bridge project. According to the design, the section from Lang Giang Bridge to the railway overpass has a 25 m wide roadbed and 15 m wide road surface; the section from behind the railway overpass to the end of the intersection with Provincial Road 161 has a 33 m wide roadbed and 15 m wide road surface; the railway overpass has 1 span 33 m long and 19 m wide.

The 1.2 km long road connecting Lang Giang Bridge to Provincial Road 161 will be completed and put into use by the end of March 2025.

After more than 2 years of implementation, due to difficulties in compensation and site clearance, there were times when the project had to stop. When the difficulties were resolved and the site was handed over, the construction unit quickly implemented and completed 95% of the work. Currently, the final work is being completed for handover on March 30.

Mr. Trinh Ba Tung, site manager, Minh Duc General Construction Company Limited said: "The contractor is coordinating with related units to urgently complete the remaining items such as: road markings, curbs, sidewalks and tree planting holes. We commit to completing the project before March 30 and putting it into use."

The electricity and water systems in the resettlement area are not yet complete, affecting the house construction process of the people.

Through investigation, 18 households in the area of land clearance have received resettlement land, but in the resettlement area, there have been many shortcomings such as: incomplete infrastructure, no electricity grid so households have to install temporary power lines, which are not safe. The domestic water system also does not meet the requirements, affecting the daily life as well as the progress of house construction of the people.

Mr. Vuong Van Hiep, Muc village, Thai Nien commune, Bao Thang district said: "Currently, we are driving piles to build a house, but there is no electricity so we have to rely on electricity from other families. I hope that the authorities at all levels, departments and branches will soon complete the infrastructure in the resettlement area."

The road connecting Lang Giang Bridge to Provincial Road 161 is one of the traffic projects that is behind schedule due to problems in site clearance, compensation and resettlement arrangements. The difficulties that people are facing need to be addressed by the locality and investors, especially in building technical infrastructure, ensuring the rights and benefits of people when moving to a new place of residence.
