(NLDO)- Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc and the Government delegation inspected the construction progress of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh and Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressways.

On the afternoon of March 13, while inspecting the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc requested contractors to increase equipment and construction personnel day and night to ensure the progress of each section opening to traffic as planned.

Representative of Dong Nai Province Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board reports on the construction progress of component project 1, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project

Local authorities must provide maximum support to contractors in terms of land, material sources, and construction guarantees. In addition to site clearance, attention should be paid to resettlement so that people can agree and stabilize their lives.

At the intersection of Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway with National Highway 51, a representative of Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) said that this expressway has a total length of about 58 km, passing through Long An , Ho Chi Minh City, and Dong Nai. Currently, the total construction volume has reached nearly 90%. The remaining packages, with output reaching nearly 70%, are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

In addition to the two 10.2 km long sections that were put into operation before Tet, two more sections with a length of more than 20 km will be opened to traffic on April 30.

Meanwhile, at the intersection between Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway and the connecting route to Long Thanh Airport (component project 2, over 18 km long), according to Project Management Board 85 (Ministry of Construction), the output of component project 2 reached over 30%. Almost all the land has been handed over, about 130 households and technical infrastructure have not been relocated.

According to the Project Management Board , the biggest challenge at present is the lack of millions of cubic meters of fill. If the soil source is not resolved in March, the road embankment before the rainy season will be affected, leading to the risk of delaying progress. The Project Management Board recommends that Dong Nai province provide materials soon to speed up construction.

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc asked construction units to speed up progress.

According to Mr. Ngo The An, Director of Dong Nai Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board , for the Component 1 project through Bien Hoa, in recent days, the locality has established mobilization teams and implemented many synchronous solutions, so more land has been handed over. The investor has requested the contractor to mobilize machinery and construction equipment right at the locations that have just been handed over.

To date, the site clearance for the section through Long Thanh has been completed, while the section through Bien Hoa has only reached 82%. There are currently about 400 plots of land that have not been handed over, and the construction site is about 65%. Bien Hoa City authorities have set up many working groups to mobilize people to hand over their land soon in order to hand over 100% of the site in March.

Regarding the progress of component project 1, it is still difficult compared to the other two component projects. On the total length of 16 km, the part of contractor Lizen is the most promising. This unit has paved 2 km of asphalt concrete. The total output is currently 22%.
