On September 24, at the Government headquarters, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha worked with leaders of Tuyen Quang province and a number of relevant ministries and branches on the proposal to adjust the investment policy of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1), the section passing through Tuyen Quang province.
Up to now, Tuyen Quang province has cleared 82% of the land with a complete scale of 4 lanes; construction has reached over 12% of the total construction volume of the entire route, ensuring the project is completed by the end of 2025.
To promote investment efficiency and connect with important routes serving local and regional economic development, Tuyen Quang province proposed adjusting the investment policy of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1) for the section passing through Tuyen Quang province.
Concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha stated that the Prime Minister has given consistent instructions on investing in complete 4-lane expressways to ensure technical safety, economic efficiency, and investment efficiency.
In addition, the National Assembly decided to add additional capital for the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1) from the increased central budget revenue in 2023.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the investment policy, scale and design of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1).
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government assigned the Office of the Government, Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) to coordinate with Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces and a number of relevant ministries and branches to advise the Prime Minister to issue a document directing and assigning authority to the two provinces of Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang to decide on adjusting the investment policy and technical design for the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1) in the direction of adjusting the scale of the entire route to 4 lanes.
Including the completion of the section from the intersection of National Highway 37 to the intersection of National Highway 3B (22km long) in the section passing through Tuyen Quang province with a scale of 4 lanes.
At the same time, technical infrastructure works (residential roads, underpasses, underground works) in the 2-lane section must be adjusted in design, synchronized, minimizing demolition and generating large construction volume when expanding to 4 lanes in phase 2.
"The adjustment of the investment policy and technical design of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1) will also be the preliminary basis for balancing and allocating central and local capital for the project in phase 2," said Deputy Prime Minister of the Government.
Deputy Prime Minister requested Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces to map out the progress; make efforts, reach consensus, and be highly determined, mobilize the entire political system to join forces, join hands, stand side by side with contractors, and strive to achieve the set goals.
Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Planning and Investment to review and study the proposal of Ha Giang province and report to the National Assembly on allowing the application of special mechanisms and policies when implementing the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project (phase 1).
