The investor ran out of capital, the contractor stopped construction of the hundred billion dong road in Vinh Phuc.

The project to upgrade Tho Tang road (TL304) to Vinh Son (central axis road of Vinh Tuong district DH15B) has been under construction for nearly 2 years now. However, only 1 lane has been put into use, causing difficulties for people in the process of traveling.

Crowded traffic on one lane

On the afternoon of November 12, at the construction site of the Tho Tang road upgrade (TL304) to Vinh Son (central axis road of Vinh Tuong district DH15B), Giao thong Newspaper reporters recorded the unfinished construction status along the entire route.

The route is nearly 2km long and will start construction in 2023, starting at the roundabout of Vinh Tuong district's central axis road and ending at the intersection with Nguyen Thai Hoc Street (Tho Tang town, Vinh Tuong, Vinh Phuc ).

The route often has high traffic density.

Currently, there is only one lane in use on the route, making it difficult for vehicles to travel in both directions. At the beginning of the route, at the intersection with Nguyen Thai Hoc Street (Tho Tang town, Vinh Tuong, Vinh Phuc), there are many businesses on both sides of the road, selling rice, animal feed and agricultural products.

Many trucks and three-wheeled vehicles stop at the roadside to load and unload goods, making the intersection at the end of the route even more crowded and congested.

Ms. Nguyen Thi H (born in 1968), a water seller on this road, said: "The road has been stopped for nearly a year now for unknown reasons. Currently, we only have one lane to travel. Moreover, this road has a lot of trucks, the high traffic density makes it even more difficult for people to travel."

MH business said: "The traffic volume at this intersection is very high in the early morning and during rush hour. Due to the need for trucks to stop for a long time to load and unload goods, along with the large number of people traveling, this area is often congested. Our businesses are also affected because there is no place to load and unload goods."

Businesses often park their vehicles along the roadside to import goods, making the road even narrower.

The investor ran out of capital, the contractor stopped construction.

According to the information received by PV, the project to upgrade Tho Tang road (TL304) to Vinh Son (central axis road of Vinh Tuong district DH15B) has a length of 1.8km and a total investment of 140 billion VND. The investor is the Vinh Tuong district Construction Investment Project Management Board and Tuan Dat Import Export Company Limited is the unit responsible for the construction.

Currently, only the first 50 meters of the entire route have been paved with asphalt. The remaining length of the route has only been paved with the base. Notably, many concrete components of the project are scattered on both sides of the road.

There are no construction warning signs along the entire route, posing a potential traffic safety risk.

Components are gathered along both sides of the road, posing a potential traffic safety risk.

Mr. Nguyen Van V (born in 1973, residing in Tho Tang town, Vinh Tuong district) said: "The unpaved road still has trucks passing through. Currently, the construction unit has stopped, so we are very worried about the quality of the project when vehicles run on the unfinished road.

Furthermore, the newly paved sections are very dusty. Every time a truck passes by, the dust swirls up, affecting other road users.

The unfinished side of the road became a place for people to gather goods and park their vehicles.

Regarding the above issue, a representative of the Vinh Tuong District Construction Project Management Board, the project investor, said: "The project to renovate and upgrade the Tho Tang road to Vinh Son has run out of capital, so the power line relocation package cannot be implemented yet. In addition, there are still problems with the land at some households at the beginning of the route because the compensation plan has not been agreed upon, although we have mobilized many times.

The project is funded by the central government, but the cost has increased due to the need to move the power lines and clear the site. However, due to the inability to adjust the funding source, construction has not continued. Since the beginning of this year, we have reported this issue 4 times, but it has not been resolved yet.

Regarding the signs and ropes warning of the construction site, the unit had previously arranged them fully, however, because people still entered the area, they lifted and threw away the ropes.

A representative of Tuan Dat Import-Export Company Limited, the project's construction unit, added: "We have basically completed the sections where the site has been handed over. As for the sections where the base stone strip is still stuck, the unit has agreed with the people to only complete the foundation and not lay asphalt.

Regarding traffic safety measures, we will soon re-barricade the road and re-install construction warning signs."
