The Chairman of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee assigned the Provincial Traffic and Civil Works Project Management Board to urgently prepare, submit for appraisal and approve procedures and construction investment documents, focusing on resettlement areas in Tra Son village and Kien Long village to keep up with project progress.
At the same time, prepare a detailed plan and submit to competent authorities for approval of resettlement areas in Phu Lac village, Truong Dinh 2 village, Thuan Hoa village, Hoa Trung village and Thuan Duc village to implement the next investment steps.
Previously, at the final meeting of the People's Council of Binh Dinh province held on June 24 and 25, Mr. Pham Anh Tuan emphasized that the province will be determined to start the Quy Nhon - Pleiku Expressway project in October this year.
The Quy Nhon - Pleiku Expressway project has a total estimated investment of about VND43,510 billion, with a total length of about 125km, of which about 40km passes through Binh Dinh province and about 85km through Gia Lai province. The starting point of the project is in Nhon My commune (An Nhon town, Binh Dinh province) and the end point is in Ia Kenh commune (Pleiku city, Gia Lai province).
When completed, the project will shorten travel time between the Central and Central Highlands coastal areas, promote regional linkages, and develop the socio-economy of the new Gia Lai province after merging the two provinces of Binh Dinh and Gia Lai.
The new Gia Lai province has a total area of over 21,576.53 km2 and a population of over 3.58 million people. The new province will have 135 commune-level administrative units (including 110 communes and 25 wards). The new province's political and administrative center will be located in Quy Nhon City (currently Binh Dinh).
