Many projects are behind schedule
Among the slow-progress projects is the Dong Hoi central railway road and overpass project, although started in 2022, it has not been completed, mostly due to prolonged site clearance (GPMB). The project is 1.15km long, including two main packages: a bridge construction package worth more than 85 billion VND and a road construction package worth 13.4 billion VND. The plan was to be completed by the end of 2025, but so far the construction progress has not been completed. Some adjustments have been made by the end of 2025, increasing the total investment by 33.5 billion VND and adjusting the completion time to the third quarter of 2026.
According to the latest report from the State Treasury of Region XII, as of February 28, 2026, the total public investment capital plan for 2026 assigned by the Prime Minister to Quang Tri province is more than 4,686 billion VND.
Of which, the planned capital for 2026 was disbursed nearly 184.7 billion VND, reaching about 4.96% of the assigned plan; capital extended from the previous year was disbursed nearly 43.3 billion VND.
For projects managed by localities, the total capital plan (including extended capital) is VND 3,965 billion, but disbursement has only reached more than VND 211.1 billion, equivalent to 5.53% of the plan.
Decisive action, promote capital disbursement
Quang Tri province has decided to establish 5 working groups to inspect, urge and promote the disbursement progress of public investment capital. The working groups will be directly headed by the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, coordinating with relevant departments and branches to closely monitor the progress of each project, and handle arising difficulties in a timely manner. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested departments, branches, and investors to develop detailed disbursement plans and clearly assign responsibilities to each unit.
The working groups will focus on site clearance, reducing administrative procedures and controlling the construction progress of projects. In particular, investors must strictly implement the weekly disbursement progress reporting regime for the province to summarize and manage promptly.
In addition to removing bottlenecks in site clearance, Quang Tri also focuses on improving the quality and efficiency of public investment capital use, prioritizing strategic infrastructure projects that have a major impact on development. To achieve disbursement goals, departments and sectors will promote inter-sectoral coordination, shorten dossier processing time and reduce administrative procedures.
Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh emphasized the responsibility of each department, sector and investor in completing capital disbursement tasks, in order to implement the political determination of the province. Quang Tri sets a goal to disburse public investment capital to achieve progress according to the direction of the Prime Minister, contributing to promoting economic growth and building a sustainable development foundation.
