After 6 months of construction, the provincial road 342 project connecting Ha Long City with Ba Che District has completed over 30% of the items. To ensure the project is completed as planned, the investor and contractors are increasing the construction teams, determined to speed up the progress...
To contribute to promoting socio-economic development and strengthening regional connectivity, in early 2023, Quang Ninh started investing in provincial road 342, connecting Ha Long city with Ba Che district and Lang Son province. The project is 20.9km long, passing through Ba Che district (the starting point connects with Ky Thuong commune, Ha Long city at Km37+500, provincial road 342; the end point connects with Bac Lang commune, Dinh Lap district, Lang Son province at Km58+405).
The road is designed according to the mountain level III standard, 2 lanes, 9m wide, with widening, slope reduction, and cornering based on the old route. On the route, there are 4 bridges: Thac Da, Thac Cha, Khe Lu, Khe Lao and 1 level intersection with Provincial Road 330; drainage, protection and traffic safety systems... The project has a total investment of more than 800 billion VND from the provincial budget, the Provincial Agricultural Construction Investment Project Management Board is the investor.
Up to now, after 6 months of construction, the project has completed over 30% of the project items. Of which, the construction of all box culverts and circular culverts on the route has been basically completed; the assembled culvert item will be deployed in parallel with the roadbed elevation; the excavation and embankment of the K95 soil layer has reached over 60%, some sections that have been cleared have started to organize the construction of the K98 soil layer... For the bridge item, the bored pile construction has been basically completed, ensuring drainage conditions during the approaching flood season. The contractor is focusing on constructing abutments, piers and casting beams at the construction site.
Mr. Leu Viet Hung, Project Supervision Consultant, said: To ensure progress according to plan and take advantage of favorable weather, the investor requested the contractor to work overtime, increase shifts, and increase equipment and human resources to organize construction at 8 consecutive points. During the construction process, many solutions to speed up progress were effectively applied with the goal of ensuring the quality, technique, and aesthetics of the project according to the approved design.
Accordingly, to monitor the quality of each item, 2 field testing stations have been set up at the construction site, testing each layer of embankment soil, bored pile concrete, abutments and bridge girders, etc. Only when the quality is guaranteed according to the project's technical instructions and testing outline will the construction of the next item be carried out. Along with that, contractors are required to sign contracts with material suppliers, carry out gathering and transporting immediately to the construction site to limit interruptions due to waiting for materials.
To promptly resolve difficulties during the construction process, the investor and contractor have closely coordinated with Ba Che district to resolve problems in the site, excess material storage area, and traffic flow and safety during the project construction process to create favorable conditions for local people to trade and travel safely.
Thus, the completion of the provincial road 342 project connecting Ha Long city with Ba Che district, together with the section through Ha Long being invested and upgraded by the city, will create a vital route for transporting agricultural and forestry products connecting Ba Che district, Ha Long city and Lang Son province with a length of more than 60km. From there, it will create inter-regional and regional connections from low-lying areas, dynamic areas, developing areas with high-lying areas of Ha Long city, Ba Che district and Lang Son province; aiming to evenly distribute resources among all areas, reducing more than 50km of travel from Ha Long to Lang Son and vice versa compared to current routes, significantly reducing travel time between the two provinces.
