According to information from the Investment Electronic Newspaper - Baodautu.vn, the Ministry of Transport has just sent an official dispatch to the People's Committee of Long An province regarding support to ensure safety and security during the construction of Package A1-1 of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway Project.
The Ministry of Transport said that the construction of Package A1-1 (at the intersection with Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway in Long An province) is being hindered, and the contractor cannot access the construction site.
Recently, the People's Committee of Long An province has directed local units to pay attention to supporting the assurance of safety and security, but up to now, the situation of construction obstruction in this package is still continuing, and the level of complexity tends to increase.
“Therefore, in order to synchronously deploy items under Package A1-1 and soon complete and put into operation in accordance with the direction of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Transport requests the People's Committee of Long An province to resolutely direct local units to take measures to support and ensure safety and security for units during the construction of Package A1-1; at the same time, strictly handle violations by individuals and organizations in accordance with the provisions of law,” the official dispatch of the Ministry of Transport stated.
It is known that Package A1-1 includes the construction of the remaining part of Package A1 of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway Project undertaken by the Joint Venture of the Ministry of National Defense's 319 Corporation - Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Joint Stock Corporation (Joint Venture 319 - Vinaconex) with a winning bid price of VND 447,222 billion, including taxes, fees and contingencies (estimated price VND 448,243 billion); contract implementation period of 10 months, fixed unit price contract, construction period starting from November 2023.
Currently, the construction of about 700m at Package A1-1 is facing difficulties due to the sand supplier for a contractor of the old Package A1 obstructing the construction.
The Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway Project is a national key project managed by the Ministry of Transport and invested by the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC). The project has been approved by the Prime Minister for investment policy adjustment in Decision No. 791/QD-TTg dated July 3, 2023 with the completion date adjusted to September 30, 2025.
VEC is urgently directing contractors to speed up construction progress and coordinate with relevant agencies to handle problems to open the main eastern route to traffic in 2024; open the entire Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway to traffic by the end of 2025.
