Regarding the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 Project, Mr. Tran Hung Viet, Director of Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, indicated that the compensation and site clearance for Component Project 1 have been appraised and submitted for approval of additional site clearance boundaries. For Component Project 2, which involves phase 1 investment under the public-private partnership (PPP) method, the bidding process to select investors is currently underway. As for Component Project 3, which focuses on the construction of parallel roads and connecting roads to Ring Road 4, Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board is urgently finalizing the investment preparation procedures. Particularly, the Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh Expressway Project is being implemented by districts and cities in the province in terms of compensation, site clearance, land acquisition notification, survey, measurement, and land price determination.
During the meeting, leaders from local areas with important traffic and power projects reported on the progress of these initiatives. They discussed the roadmap for addressing challenges related to compensation and site clearance, as well as proposed solutions to expedite the processes of compensation and site clearance.
Must be determined
During a report to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Mr. Le Minh Quoc Viet, the Director of Binh Duong Electricity Company, stated that there are currently five significant electricity projects that are behind schedule due to issues with compensation and site clearance. The delays are primarily caused by the slow progress in surveying and establishing compensation prices in localities. As a result, these projects are falling behind the planned timeline. The electricity sector has requested that authorities address these challenges to ensure that the five projects can be completed and operational by April 30, 2025.
Also at the meeting, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Van Loi expressed his general agreement with the report concerning the progress of key projects, traffic infrastructure, and power works. He emphasized that departments, branches, localities, and the electricity sector must demonstrate a strong commitment to overcoming challenges and obstacles. A specific timeline should be established for completing these projects to accelerate construction progress, which is essential for achieving the province's double-digit growth target through effective public investment capital disbursement.
Furthermore, the Provincial Party Secretary highlighted the importance of urban beautification efforts. He urged a focus on improving alleys to ensure they are bright, green, clean, and aesthetically pleasing, as well as to install security cameras. In addition to utilizing budget capital, localities should also encourage community involvement in road construction and alley renovations, actively mobilizing residents and businesses to participate and contribute to these efforts.
