(Haiphong.gov.vn) - On the afternoon of December 15, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Tho inspected the progress of the Lai Xuan Bridge Construction Investment Project and the renovation and expansion of Provincial Road 352 in Thuy Nguyen District. This is one of the important traffic projects to realize the city's inter-regional connectivity goal.

Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Tho inspected the site clearance work for the Project.

According to the report of the Project Management Board, the biggest problem of the Project is that some areas in many items have not been handed over yet. Regarding the bridge section, on the Hai Phong city side, the unhanded over land area is mainly related to the land of Xuan Nguyen Prison (construction site for 4 piers and abutments ); on the Quang Ninh province side, the entire area of ​​land for the construction of 6 piers and abutments in Yen Duc commune, Dong Trieu town is still stuck (3 months behind schedule).

Regarding the land acquisition work to renovate and expand provincial road 352, Thuy Nguyen district is currently carrying out land acquisition procedures. Regarding the construction progress, due to lack of land, only 6/16 piers have been constructed on the bridge due to lack of land. Up to now, the Contractors have completed 77/130 bored piles, and are constructing at 6/16 pier, cantilever and super T girder locations. The estimated volume of implementation is about 150/518.8 billion VND (~29% of the contract); the package to renovate and upgrade provincial road 352 has reached more than 11% of the volume.

Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Tho concluded the instructions at the inspection.

After checking and listening to the report, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Tho requested the Project Management Board to first focus on site clearance work, continue to closely coordinate with Quang Ninh province, ensure that the site is available for construction by January 2024. Assign Thuy Nguyen district and related units to urgently remove the problems in site clearance of security land, defense land, and enterprises, and promptly hand over to the contractor.

Lai Xuan bridge project is being actively constructed by contractors.

Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Tho also requested the Project Management Board to prioritize funding for site clearance work; contractors to focus on human resources to complete the road section before May 13, 2024; bridges and culverts on the route to be completed in August 2024. Along with that, closely monitor and manage the volume and quality of the project; strictly implement measures to ensure traffic safety and environmental sanitation during the project construction./.
