On September 23, the Department of Transport of Quang Tri province said that it has requested units to speed up the construction progress of the eastern bypass project of Dong Ha city, Quang Tri province.
Accordingly, the above project is invested by the Department of Transport of Quang Tri province. In particular, the section from Doc Mieu to National Highway 9 (the section from Cua Viet port to National Highway 1) was approved by the Ministry of Transport on December 27, 2022; the section from Nguyen Hoang intersection to Nam Song Hieu bridge was approved by the People's Committee of Quang Tri province on August 29, 2023.
Currently, the project is being implemented by contractors on the route. The contractors have dug 152,000/240,000m3 of roadbed, reaching 63.33%; filled K95 250,000/400,200m3, reaching 62.5%; filled K98 19,000/54,740m3, reaching 34.7%... The accumulated output to date is 101.90/281,773 billion VND, reaching 36.16% of the contract, basically meeting the project progress.
However, according to the assessment of the hydrometeorological situation from now until the end of 2024, there will be many storms and tropical depressions causing heavy rain affecting the Quang Tri area. This means that the favorable dry period for construction from now until the end of the year is very limited.
Therefore, the Quang Tri Department of Transport requires contractors to concentrate machinery, equipment, and human resources to synchronously carry out construction of many items and many points on the route. Arrange additional construction teams to increase deployment at night to speed up the progress of the remaining items; especially focus on completing the roadbed construction and drainage works on the route as soon as possible.
“The project must be completed in 2024 according to the investment policy, and cannot be extended to 2025, so the Department of Transport of Quang Tri province has repeatedly requested contractors to speed up the progress,” emphasized Mr. Tran Huu Hung, Director of the Department of Transport of Quang Tri province.
It is known that the Dong Ha city eastern bypass project has a total route length of 13.3km with a total investment of 399.96 billion VND. The project started on January 6, 2024 and was completed on December 31, 2024. This project is eagerly awaited by the people of Quang Tri province until it is put into use, because Dong Ha city has not had a bypass for a long time.
Every day, heavy vehicles traveling on National Highway 1 through Dong Ha city cause many consequences, especially traffic insecurity, causing many serious traffic accidents.
