Currently, the People's Committee of Quang Tri province has approved the investor consortium including Hoanh Son Group Joint Stock Company, Nam Tien Company Limited and Phonesack Vietnam Company Limited.
Accordingly, after the survey and research process, the Investor Consortium proposed a plan not to build a tunnel with a scale of 2 lanes, clearing the land for 4 lanes; the project area occupied by protective forests and special-use forests is about 139 hectares.
The project design options all pass through special-use and protective forests with areas ranging from 112 hectares to 139 hectares, so the National Assembly or the Government must submit a proposal to change the purpose of forest use.
The total investment of the project according to the plan proposed by the Investor Consortium is expected to be about 4,020 billion VND, of which the state capital participating in the project is about 249 billion VND, but up to now this capital has not been arranged.
To soon implement the project, at the meeting, Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Tien assigned the Department of Transport to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments, branches and sectors to work with the Investor Consortium, provide guidance, evaluate capacity and commitment to implement in order to soon implement the project construction.
In addition, Vice Chairman Le Duc Tien assigned the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board to study and prepare suitable investment plans and forms; assigned the Department of Transport to preside over and coordinate with departments, branches and units to review and supplement the proportion of state capital participating in the project according to the previous proposal of the Provincial People's Committee with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
