Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The addresses the working session.

Hoa Binh asked the Ministry of Transport and the minister to allocate capital for upgrading Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh Road into an expressway and building Hoa Binh 4 Bridge. They also called on the ministry to promote the construction of Hoa Binh-Son La Expressway under the public-private partnership format, National Highway 15 linking Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa provinces, and National Highway 12B; the upgrade of National Highway 70B’s section traversing Hoa Binh, Road 12B, and National Highway 21; and the building of emergency lanes on Thung Khe, Thung Nhuoi and Cun slopes on National Highway 6.

Tran Dang Ninh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council, asked the minister to support to the construction of National Highway 12B that will connect Hoa Binh with Ninh Binh province and National Highway 1, while working out measures to improve the capacity of the waterway route running through Hai Phong city, Hanoi and Hoa Binh, and to protect infrastructure of local roads.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang asked the minister to assist residents in the vicinity of Hoa Binh Lake to register their waterway vehicles. He also called for more support for his province to implement some key projects expected to create growth momentum like Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh Road, ensure traffic safety, and build Hoa Binh 4 Bridge to boost the development of Hoa Binh city.

At the working session, Minister Nguyen Van The asked local authorities to work closely with the Ministry of Transport to work out solutions to difficulties and develop synchronous traffic infrastructure so as to create a driving force for development.

Regarding Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh Road, he asked relevant agencies of his ministry to coordinate with the province to survey approach roads and strictly manage markers and the construction situation so as to upgrade the road into an expressway in the future. He also told local authorities to work with his ministry to devise solutions to problems relating to roads linking Hoa Binh with other provinces like Hoa Binh-Moc Chau (Son La province) Expressway and National Highway 15 linking Hoa Binh with Thanh Hoa province. 

Meanwhile, the province needs to review and specify the priority levels of national highways running through it so that authorised agencies can have an investment roadmap. In terms of obstacles to the Road 12B project, the ministry and the province should work together to ask for the Government’s provision of capital to compensate residents for their displacement and pay building contractors, Minister The added./.
