In 2023, the transport sector of Hoa Binh province carried out four road construction projects and repaired 41 road transport works, thereby gradually upgrading the local transport infrastructure network to meet people’s travel demand and serve local socio-economic development.
The provincial Department of Transport is accelerating
a project on dealing with traffic safety risks on Cun slope, which is part of
National Highway 6.
Hoa Binh is currently home to more than 10,998km
of roads, including over 320km of national highways, 491km of provincial roads,
over 340km of urban roads, 17km of specialised roads, 655km of district-level
ones, and over 8,980km in rural areas, according to the provincial Department
of Transport.
Two local river routes are accommodating inland
waterways transport, namely an 103km national inland waterway route along Da
River and a 19km local route on Boi River. Hoa Binh Lake is also home to seven
routes with a total length of nearly 70km. Four terminals and 16 wharves have
been licensed to operate along inland waterways routes in the province.
In 2023, to manage the quality of transport
facilities, the department verified and submitted economic - technical reports
on 15 works to the provincial People’s Committee for approval, compiled
feasibility study reports on nine projects, and made construction drawings and
estimates for eight facilities. The transport projects with verified reports
have been implemented on schedule and in accordance with specialised rules, as
well as the State’s regulations and policies.
Pressing on with upgrading transport
infrastructure and maximising resources for the works, the sector also advised
the provincial administration to focus investment on the key projects expected
to create breakthroughs in socio-economic development.
In addition, the Department of
Transportconducted frequent examinations and asked contractors to ensure
constant management and maintenance of transport infrastructure, checked and
added road signs, proposed measures for ensuring traffic safety, survey traffic
routes to detect hot spots of or areas prone to traffic accidents, and propose
authorities take solutions, the department said.
Thanks to the proper development and protection
of transport infrastructure, many important roads have been built and upgraded.
All communes across Hoa Binh now have roads qualified for car driving accessing
their centres. All district-level roads and 81.69% of communal-level ones have
been paved.
With favourable climate and land advantages, the agriculture sector in Hoa Binh has been attracting investment from enterprises, organisations, and cooperatives, gradually asserting the position of some local specialties in the international market.
Currently, Luong Son district counts 905 business establishments operating in industry and handicraft, helping generate jobs and stable incomes for local labourers.
Hoa Binh scored the highest points in two out of the eight indicators of the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index ranking in 2023 that the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on April 17.
A working delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh is attending a programme to popularise Vietnamese products in the US and Canada on April 20-28.
