On the morning of February 2 (the 5th day of the Lunar New Year), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited and gave Tet gifts to officials and workers at the construction site and inspected, urged and promoted the progress of the Dong Dang (Lang Son) - Tra Linh (Cao Bang) expressway project.
In the first days of spring, the Prime Minister is having a working program to start, inspect and urge the construction of important national projects and key transport sector works and projects. Previously, on the evening of February 1, right after finishing the inspection program of key projects in the Southeast region, the Prime Minister and the working delegation flew to Hanoi and moved to Lang Son that night.
Also inspecting the Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressway with the Prime Minister were Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, Minister of Transport Tran Hong Minh, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, and leaders of ministries, branches, and localities.
The Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway project has a total length of 121 km, divided into 2 investment phases with a total investment of more than 47,000 billion VND.
Phase 1, Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway is invested with a length of more than 93 km. The starting point is at Tan Thanh border gate intersection (Van Lang district, Lang Son province). The ending point is at National Highway 3 intersection (Chi Thao commune, Quang Hoa district, Cao Bang province).
The project is managed by the Cao Bang Provincial People's Committee as the competent state agency. The project is implemented by a consortium of investors led by Deo Ca Group.
With a total investment of 14,114 billion VND in phase 1, of which state budget capital accounts for 69.43%, equivalent to 9,800 billion VND, this project is planned to recover capital within a period of 22 years and 4 months.
Once completed, this expressway will shorten the travel time from Cao Bang to Hanoi and vice versa from 6-7 hours to about 3.5 hours. The project will open up opportunities for economic - social - cultural development of the two provinces of Cao Bang and Lang Son, connecting the northeastern border region with the capital Hanoi and the economic poles of the whole country.
The project started on January 1, 2024. According to schedule, the project will be completed in 2026 but is striving to open to traffic in 2025.
According to the report, up to now, the land has been basically handed over for the entire route of 93.14 km / 93.35 km, reaching 99.8% of the route length. Localities and agencies are implementing procedures to build 6 resettlement areas and relocate technical infrastructure (22 high-voltage power line locations), the progress basically meets the requirements.
Regarding construction, with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain", "eating quickly, sleeping urgently" and working in "3 shifts", investors, project enterprises, and construction contractors mobilized 36 construction teams, 650 equipment, 1,500 personnel, and completed two mountain tunnel items. The total output of the packages was 1,360.01/10,056.85 billion VND, reaching 13.52% of the contract, 0.54% faster than planned.
Phase 2 of the project will include expanding the existing 93.35 km route and constructing a new 27.71 km route connecting Tra Linh border gate.
It is expected that on the afternoon of February 2, the Prime Minister will have a meeting with relevant ministries, branches and localities to continue to remove difficulties and obstacles, resolve proposals and recommendations to promote the progress of the Dong Dang - Tra Linh project, including the immediate implementation of phase 2 and the construction of connecting sections of this expressway with Ta Lung border gate, Cao Bang city to further promote the effectiveness of the project.
