The construction scale of the level III plain road, 4 lanes, design speed 80km/h and the bridge on this road section is designed with steel, reinforced concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete.
The project has a total investment of more than 3,904 billion VND from the state budget, with the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board as the investor. Construction is expected to be basically completed in 2025.
The Ho Chi Minh Road construction investment project, Rach Soi - Ben Nhat, Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections, is a component project of the Ho Chi Minh Road Project, an important national project approved by the National Assembly for investment and construction in Resolutions No. 38/2004/QH11 dated December 3, 2004, No. 66/2013/QH13 dated November 29, 2013 and Resolution No. 63/2022/QH15 dated June 16, 2022 with the goal of completing the investment and construction of the Cho Chu - Trung Son Intersection and Rach Soi - Ben Nhat - Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections by 2025, basically connecting the Ho Chi Minh Road.
Construction of Ho Chi Minh road through Kien Giang and Bac Lieu provinces started at nearly 4,000 billion VND.
The project starts at Pac Bo (Cao Bang province) and ends at Dat Mui (Ca Mau) with a length of 3,183km (main line 2,499km, western branch 684km). To date, 2,488/2,744km and about 258km of branch lines have been completed, the remaining 256km are under construction.
In particular, the Rach Soi - Ben Nhat and Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections are among the last component projects to be invested in and constructed to basically connect the entire Ho Chi Minh Highway by 2025.
The Ho Chi Minh road construction investment project, Rach Soi - Ben Nhat, Go Quao - Vinh Thuan section is an important project in the Southwest region, one of the infrastructures that creates momentum to promote socio-economic development, attract investment, develop urban - industry - trade - tourism - services.
When completed, the Rach Soi - Ben Nhat and Go Quao - Vinh Thuan routes will create a complete inter-regional road traffic system, reducing traffic on roads in the region, promoting socio-economic development, tourism, strengthening national defense and security in Kien Giang and Bac Lieu provinces in particular and the Southwest region in general, thereby effectively exploiting major national transport infrastructure projects.
In addition, the Ho Chi Minh Road construction investment project, Rach Soi - Ben Nhat, Go Quao - Vinh Thuan section, plays an important role for Kien Giang and Bac Lieu provinces. Once completed, it will connect Go Quao, Hong Dan and Vinh Thuan districts by road (replacing 3 existing ferries).
This is an area with many ethnic minorities living, economic life is still difficult, has great potential for aquaculture development, is a large rice and fruit growing area of the region, but does not have a suitable road system to exploit the advantages of the area.
Giving the order to start construction of this project, Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Duy Lam requested the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board, consulting units, and contractors with the highest responsibility, to promote the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain", urgently develop a specific plan, appropriate construction organization plan, mobilize sufficient human resources, machinery, and equipment to focus on implementing the construction to ensure quality, progress, safety, and environmental sanitation.
Absolutely comply with legal regulations and technical instructions of the project, do not allow corruption, negativity, violations, complete the project on time as per the signed contract.
The Deputy Minister of Transport requested Kien Giang and Bac Lieu provinces to continue to direct the early completion of all site clearance work, especially resettlement areas and relocation of technical infrastructure works; arrange dumping sites, and prioritize the provision of sufficient raw materials for the project.
The two provinces continue to direct local authorities to coordinate and create favorable conditions for the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board and construction units throughout the construction process; strengthen inspection work, ensure security, order and traffic safety in the project implementation area.
