On July 9, information from the Lang Son Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board said that the unit had just proposed to the Provincial People's Committee to allow adjustment of the Ky Cung Riverside Park project, the section from Dong Kinh Hotel to Ky Cung Temple, along with a public parking lot in Luong Van Tri ward.
The project was approved at the end of October 2025, with a total investment of 51.6 billion VND from the local budget, implemented in the period 2025-2026.
According to the investor, to date, the construction volume of the park area has reached about 70% of the contract. Stone paved walking paths have reached about 90%; stone railings have reached 80%; water supply and drainage systems have reached about 70%.
Parking bays on 17/10, Nguyen Tri Phuong and Nguyen Du streets have been paved with asphalt concrete, and the lighting system is basically completed.
Real-world records show that the appearance of the park has basically been formed.
Seen from above, the campus stretches along the river, with winding promenades, stone-paved yards, bushes and lawns. Prominent in the center is a round stone-paved yard shaped like anise flowers - one of the typical symbols of the Lang border region.
After reviewing the design and actual construction, the investor believes that some items have not fully promoted their utility efficiency.
The parking lot near Ky Cung Temple is proposed to be converted into a stone yard adjacent to the walking path, both serving festivals, community activities, and can be used as a parking place when needed.
The area of the stone-paved yard is expected to reach 1,336 m2, an increase of 282 m2. The riverside pedestrian path is expanded from 3 m to at least 5 m, raising the total area of stone-paved walking paths from 4,834 m2 to about 7,310 m2.
Sidewalks on three streets are also proposed to be expanded to 5 m; some green trees will be removed to create a clear space.
Community service houses are a major change item. The initial design used reinforced concrete stilt houses, with pile foundations 15 m deep. When pressing test piles, the contractor recorded a loss of load even though the piles had fallen to about 30 m.
The investor believes that continuing this plan may not ensure safety, increase costs and delay progress, so he proposed switching to steel houses combined with glass, about 128.5 m2.
The project also adds 226 m of concrete grooves, manholes and drainage pipes. Construction costs after adjustment are expected to increase by about 2.44 billion VND, to more than 42 billion VND.
The increase is balanced by reducing contingency costs and some other items, so the total investment level remains unchanged at 51.6 billion VND.
Public parking lots in Luong Van Tri ward alone cannot be deployed because the investor has not been handed over the entire site.
