The scope of the project is from starting point km113+680 (National Highway 20) to km128+800, with a route length of about 15.5km. The Provincial People's Committee assigned the Lam Dong Provincial Traffic Project Management Board as the investor of this project.
The scale of the Bao Loc city bypass includes two lanes for motor vehicles and two lanes for non-motor vehicles. The route follows the current handed-over road, with a roadbed width of 12m (road surface 7m, reinforced sidewalk 4m, dirt sidewalk 1m).
In particular, continue to complete the 3 existing bridges on this route including Minh Rong, Nausri bridges and Au Co bridges, with an existing width of 12m. At the same time, install expansion joints, railings, waterproofing layers and asphalt concrete layers on the bridge deck.
Along with that, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee will invest in the construction of a new overpass at km7+820. The bridge was built at a collapsed location, in accordance with the scale of the roadbed.
The total investment of the project is about 400 billion VND, from the medium-term public investment budget for the period 2021 - 2025 and the period 2026 - 2030 of Lam Dong province. The implementation period is 2025 - 2027.
The Bao Loc City bypass has a total length of nearly 16 km, and was started in 2017 with a total investment of more than 800 billion VND. The scale of the project is a grade III mountainous road. The project belongs to the Investment Project for the construction of the restoration and renovation of National Highway 20 in the two provinces of Dong Nai and Lam Dong under the form of a BT contract.
As previously reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, according to the plan, the Bao Loc city bypass will be completed and put into use in 2019.
However, from October 2020 to present, due to lack of capital, the project has been temporarily suspended, waiting for competent authorities to consider and handle the capital source. At the time of suspension, the project had completed 70% of the workload.
During the construction suspension period, this road was damaged, many construction items were degraded, causing loss and waste of assets and the State budget.
In particular, in recent times, there have been many dangerous subsidence and landslides on this route, which are direct causes of traffic accidents that have killed at least 3 people. Not only that, this also makes it difficult for people to travel, affecting the lives of people.
