On September 15, Mr. Tran Van Hoi - Deputy Director of the Traffic Construction Investment Management Board of Ben Tre province - said that according to the contract signed between the investor and the contractor to construct the Ba Lai 8 bridge project, the contract implementation time is calculated from August 1, 2024. However, currently, the locality has not handed over the clean site, so the investor has requested the contractor to mobilize and arrange machinery, equipment and human resources at a location near the construction site of the Ba Lai 8 bridge project.
Previously, on March 24, 2023, the People's Committee of Ben Tre province approved the investment policy for the project to build Ba Lai 8 bridge on the coastal road of Ben Tre province.
Accordingly, the Ba Lai 8 bridge project will be invested by the Ben Tre Province Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, with a total estimated investment of VND 2,255 billion. The project will be implemented in Binh Dai and Ba Tri districts (Ben Tre province), with the project implementation period from 2023 to 2025.
This project is of great significance in contributing to the socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security of Ben Tre province. The investment in the construction of Ba Lai 8 bridge project will create a premise to promote the implementation of the construction of coastal roads of the provinces: Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh; including Cua Dai bridge (connecting Tien Giang and Ben Tre) and Co Chien 2 bridge (connecting Ben Tre and Tra Vinh).
Thereby, ensuring synchronous investment and smooth traffic connection for the eastern coastal provinces. At the same time, creating spillover effects, attracting investment in building and developing marine economic zones, industry, agriculture, high-tech aquaculture, tourism, and services for coastal areas.
