Focus on site clearance, speed up construction progress of Golden Canal Bridge project

Chairman of Bac Ninh Provincial People's Committee Vuong Quoc Tuan has just inspected the construction project of Kenh Vang Bridge and the approach roads at both ends of the bridge connecting Bac Ninh province with Hai Phong city (abbreviated as Kenh Vang Bridge); the Thai Binh right dike, the section passing through Trung Chinh commune and visited and encouraged a number of households affected by land clearance due to the Gia Binh International Airport project.

The bridge and approach roads are 13.4km long, of which the bridge is 743m long. The total investment cost is more than 2.18 trillion VND. The project uses about 45.66 hectares of land, with implementation time from 2021 to 2027.

The Golden Canal Bridge project has two construction packages No. 14 and No. 15. Up to now, the construction work volume has reached about 36%. Package No. 14 has reached more than 44.8% of the work volume, Package No. 15 has reached 13.5%. The total accumulated allocated capital is more than 1,000 billion VND, the disbursement value to date has reached about 60%.

However, through inspection, the construction progress is still slow, not meeting the requirements; the disbursement of public investment capital is low. The main reasons are due to difficulties in site clearance, lack of construction materials, especially sand for roadbed filling and adverse weather conditions.

In Bac Ninh province, there are still more than 7,000 m2 of agricultural land, nearly 12,800 m2 of public land and more than 2,800 m2 of land belonging to 12 households in Tao Hoa village (Trung Kenh commune) that have not yet approved compensation plans because they are located under the 500kV power line. In Hai Phong city, there are still more than 10,000 m2 of land, including residential land of 24 households and some locations within the 110kV power grid corridor.

After inspecting the site and listening to the report, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province Tuan emphasized that this is a large-scale project, of special importance in connecting inter-regional traffic. However, up to now, the project's construction progress is still slow, the contractor's human resources to carry out the items are still thin, not commensurate with the requirements, nature and scale of the project.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Director of the Bac Ninh Provincial Traffic and Agriculture Project Management Board No. 2 to preside over and closely coordinate with construction contractors, urgently review and re-establish the construction organization plan, increase human resources and equipment to speed up the progress of the entire route. In particular, there is a construction plan with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain", working overtime, working on days off to speed up, ensuring to make up for the delayed volume.

Regarding site clearance, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee seriously criticized Trung Kenh commune and the investor for not being resolute in removing obstacles that have existed for a long time and are slow to hand over clean site to the contractor.

At the same time, Chairman of Bac Ninh Provincial People's Committee Vuong Quoc Tuan visited and encouraged a number of households in Luong Tai commune whose land was recovered to serve the Gia Binh International Airport project.

Sharing with the residents, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized the significance of Gia Binh International Airport. This is a 4F-scale airport with reasonable space arrangement, ensuring the ability to develop modern and synchronous infrastructure; improving competitiveness and service quality to meet regional and international standards.

Gia Binh International Airport is developing into a passenger and cargo transit center in the Northern region. The airport area has a duty-free free trade zone, with conditions for developing trade and services. By 2030, there will be about 20,000 people working in the airport area and it will continue to expand in the coming years.

Regarding the spirit of site clearance and resettlement, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed that the province will make the most of policies to ensure the rights of the people. The province is interested in spiritual areas, land planning for education , health, sports, trade, services, etc. The Chairman of the Bac Ninh Provincial People's Committee hopes that people with land related to the project will unanimously and join hands to support the province to speed up the progress of the project.
