On November 15, the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province said that in the remaining period of 2024, the locality will start 10 new public investment projects in the area; as well as speed up the construction of ongoing projects, striving to complete the public investment disbursement plan in 2024.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tho - Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that in 2024, the total public investment capital in the area is more than 20,866 billion VND, of which the central budget capital is 1,747 billion VND. Although 100% of this capital has been allocated to the units, the disbursement progress up to the end of October 2024 is still quite slow, reaching only 56.35% of the plan (more than 11,758 billion VND).
The reason is that some projects are behind schedule and procedures; up to 24/37 investors have disbursed lower than the construction rate. For example, there are 89 completed projects with a total investment of more than 500.8 billion VND but only 241.48 billion VND has been disbursed; 104 transitional projects have a total investment of more than 5,759.4 billion VND but only 54.83% has been disbursed....
To promote the progress of disbursement of public investment capital this year, the Provincial People's Committee has directed functional units and working groups to proactively follow up and strengthen the implementation of their functions and tasks to support investors and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles.
Investors of projects in the site clearance and compensation stage need to quickly complete procedures and documents to submit to competent authorities for appraisal and approval in November 2024.
At the same time, localities, units and investors are required to coordinate to start construction of the remaining 10/25 projects (on the list of new projects to start in 2024) in November-December 2024. In particular, in addition to civil projects such as the wastewater collection and treatment system of Phuoc Hai town; the main drainage line along National Highway 51; resettlement apartments in Thang Nhat ward..., there are also a number of key traffic projects such as two connecting road projects to Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway (from National Highway 56 to Vung Van intersection; from Vung Van to coastal road DT 994); expansion of Phu My - Toc Tien road.
Based on the results of public investment disbursement in 2024, investors with good results will be proposed to be commended and rewarded; as well as handling investors, Project Management Boards, organizations and individuals with low public investment disbursement. At the same time, timely replacement of officials, civil servants and public employees who are weak in capacity, slow, causing harassment and negativity in the implementation and disbursement of public investment capital will be proposed.
According to the Cai Mep - Thi Vai Regional Traffic Project Management Board, the first kilometers of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway component 3 project (phase 1) have been paved. In 2024, the project was allocated 1,187 billion VND in capital, and has now disbursed VND 796 billion, reaching 67% (of which, the capital allocated at the beginning of the year of 500 billion VND has been fully disbursed; 487 billion VND is being disbursed, supplemented in May 2024, and 200 billion VND is being transferred in August 2024). The construction progress on site meets the schedule registered with the Ministry of Transport.
The Phuoc An Bridge project is scheduled to be completed by December 2027, and all construction packages in Ba Ria - Vung Tau are on schedule. The total construction output in 2024 is 407.42 billion VND, but only 351.37 billion VND has been disbursed.
