Suffering because upgrading 2km of road has not been completed in Binh Duong for more than 3 years

TPO - Huynh Van Luy Street (Binh Duong) still has a 2km section without sidewalks, lighting and median strips that was upgraded at the end of 2020 but is still in disarray. This "snail-like" construction makes people in the area miserable.

On the morning of March 16, Tien Phong newspaper reporters recorded that Huynh Van Luy Street, from the Binh Duong New City roundabout to the intersection with Tran Ngoc Len Street (Phu My Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province) was barricaded and machinery was under construction.

Huynh Van Luy Street from the starting point connecting National Highway 13 to the Binh Duong New City roundabout is about 7km long. Of which, about 2km from the intersection with Tran Ngoc Len Street to the roundabout has no median strip, sidewalk, or lighting.

At the end of 2020, this road section was upgraded, and the project officially began construction of items such as the stormwater drainage system, sidewalks, trees, and lighting. Up to now, for more than 3 years, the project is still in disarray, and the construction unit has continuously erected barriers on Huynh Van Luy Street to ensure safety.

This project is being constructed by Dai Phong Infrastructure Construction Joint Stock Company, with a total investment of 109 billion VND. According to the initial plan, the construction period to complete the entire route was 10 months. After that, the construction unit continuously requested extensions (3 times), but to date the progress has only reached about 65%.

According to the representative of the construction unit, the reason why the project cannot be completed is because of difficulties in site clearance. Up to now, only about 66% of the entire route has been cleared. Currently, the project is still stuck with some households who have not yet handed over the site because they have not agreed on the compensation price.

While the authorities are struggling to find a solution to hand over the land, the people living along the road who have handed over their land are miserable because of the unfinished construction project.

“The unfinished construction project for a long time has greatly affected the lives of people in the area. In front of the house, the road was dug up but the construction was slow, making it very difficult to get in and out of the house,” said Mr. Tuan, a resident living on Huynh Van Luy Street (Phu My Ward, Thu Dau Mot City).

On this approximately 2km long road under construction, hundreds of large and small businesses are being affected.

Mr. Sang, the owner of a restaurant on Huynh Van Luy Street, where the construction is underway, said: “Because the road is under construction, the entrance to the restaurant is difficult and there is dust, so customers are hesitant to come in. Because the business has been in operation for a long time and has been waiting for the road to be completed, it is still there. Not only me, but people in the affected area hope that the authorities will speed up the progress to complete the project soon.”

According to Tien Phong newspaper reporters, Huynh Van Luy Street connects from National Highway 13 to Binh Duong Provincial Administrative Center (Binh Duong New City) and goes straight to Bac Tan Uyen District and Phu Giao District. This route is also chosen by many people when going to Binh Phuoc Province, so the traffic volume is high. The fact that half of the road is blocked and under construction for a long time not only affects the people in the area but also the people and vehicles participating in traffic.
