The road connecting Lam Dot to Dong Son in A Luoi 4 commune has completed about 70% of the contract value.

"Stuck" capital

From the capital source of the National Target Program for the period of 2023 - 2025, in A Luoi 1 commune, the A Tia Lake upgrade investment project is being implemented with a total investment of 35 billion VND, invested by the Project Management Board (PMU) of Investment and Construction of A Luoi district (old) now the PMU of Investment and Construction of Area 2. The investment objective of the project is to upgrade the dam, dredge the lake bed, increase the useful capacity of the reservoir, contribute to production and provide clean water for people. In addition, the completed project will also help regulate the flow of A Nor stream and create momentum to promote local socio -economic development.

This is an irrigation project to provide irrigation water for 50 hectares of rice and crops of people in A Luoi 1 commune. Therefore, in order to promote the value of the project, suitable for people's cultivation, in June 2025, the People's Committee of A Luoi district (old) decided to approve the adjustment of the A Tia Lake upgrading investment project. Accordingly, a number of items were adjusted and supplemented such as the 26m long earth retaining wall of the main canal from Ho Chi Minh road towards A Tia dam; supplemented the embankment reinforcement of traffic route No. 4 with interconnected stone gabions... with the total investment remaining unchanged.

Mr. Ho Van Mien, Deputy Director of the Investment and Construction Project Management Board of Region 2, said that from the capital sources of the National Target Program, 17 projects and urban and traffic infrastructure works have been implemented in A Luoi communes with a total investment of more than 500 billion VND. Of which, 9 projects have been completed, the remaining 8 projects with a total investment of more than 278 billion VND are still under construction due to difficulties in capital sources. For the A Tia Lake upgrade project, the construction work has reached about 20% of the contract value, with some sections of the canal, intra-field roads, weathering removal... completed. However, due to difficulties in capital sources, the project has stopped construction for many months now and is still waiting for capital arrangement to continue implementation.

Similarly, the inter-commune road project from Lam Dot to Dong Son in A Luoi 4 commune is under construction, including 2 traffic items nearly 2km long and a 6.5m wide bridge with a total investment of 23 billion VND, invested by the Investment and Construction Project Management Board of Area 2.

Mr. Le Hoang Khanh, a construction technical officer, said that at present, the project has completed items such as casting 5/6 bridge girders, the lower part and will complete the bridge deck in October, the construction volume has reached about 70% of the contract value. However, the volume on the construction site is currently exceeding the actual payment value the contractor has received. The contractor must spend an additional budget of about 5 billion VND for construction. If the capital is arranged in time, the project is expected to be completed in June 2026.
