However, up to now, the project only has 8.1 km of land cleared from the previous Nui Thanh district rescue project in 2012, the remaining construction site has not been handed over.
Currently, construction units are removing weathered soil from the roadbed and preparing to construct Tam Tien Bridge and Diem Tra Bridge. At the same time, construction of Tam Hiep Bridge, An Tan 2 Bridge and lighting is underway.
For the Central Region Linkage Project in Quang Nam Province, the project has a total investment of more than 768 billion VND, using ODA loans from the Korean Economic Development Cooperation Fund and state budget capital. The project has a total length of about 31.5 km, passing through 4 districts of Thang Binh, Phu Ninh, Tien Phuoc, and Bac Tra My.
The project started on July 19, 2023 and is expected to be completed on December 5, 2025. Since the start of construction, the plan has been achieved by 26%. In 2024, the construction output is expected to reach more than 268 billion VND.
According to Mr. Tam, the cost of compensation, site clearance and resettlement is 125.5 billion VND. However, the actual value has exceeded this value, the estimated value updated at the end of 2023 is more than 323 billion VND. To date, the compensation plan has been approved for more than 94 billion VND.

“Although in the past, localities have actively directed the implementation of compensation, site clearance and resettlement of the project. However, the implementation results so far are still slow and do not meet the construction progress. To date, the Traffic Department has received the handover of 7.18/31.47 km of site (reaching 22.8%), but the site is not continuous,” said Mr. Tam.
Mr. Tam said that 2024 is the year of acceleration and the finish line will be in 2025 to complete the 2020-2025 medium-term plan. Therefore, he requested the Standing Committee and the People's Committee of Quang Nam province to direct localities and sectors to be determined and highly focused on site clearance for key projects to speed up construction progress.
There are sanctions if not completed.
Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, Secretary of Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee, said that these are key projects to welcome the congress and the important thing is that the capital has been arranged. If units do not implement on schedule, they will lose more budget money in the following years.
Therefore, Mr. Triet requested the Provincial People's Committee, the Transport Department and relevant local departments to absorb and remove difficulties to speed up the progress of the projects. At the same time, he requested the Provincial People's Committee to urgently allocate capital and regulate.

In addition, Mr. Triet requested a more flexible approach to personnel work to serve the work of compensation and site clearance; directing the adjustment of planning and land use plans accordingly; especially focusing on directing the issuance of a list of material mines to serve key projects.
For localities, Mr. Triet suggested focusing on site clearance, this is the number 1 requirement because whether or not the disbursement can be made, whether or not the progress is guaranteed depends on the site. Localities also need to be flexible and proactive in resettlement plans. In particular, carefully study the legal regulations for implementation, there is still confusion, apprehension, and fear of responsibility.
“This is a key project, so the way it is done must also be key. Site clearance is the top political task of the localities, associated with the responsibility of the leaders.
Now there is no shortage of capital so the province does not worry about capital issues, people worry about not having money but we worry about having money but not being able to spend it in time. Therefore, if the progress of key projects is not completed due to subjective reasons, the head must take responsibility, there must be sanctions to review and handle responsibility", the Secretary of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee affirmed.
For investors, Mr. Triet suggested committing to the progress of the projects when the locality hands over the site, and construction must be carried out as the site is handed over. At the same time, investors must have a very specific progress plan associated with responsibilities, prioritize the work that can be done first, and closely coordinate with the locality to ensure the progress.
