(HBO) - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved an investment project for the construction of the Hoa Binh-Moc Chau expressway under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
The road system will link Hoa Binh and Son La provinces –
the two northwestern tourism hubs. As the road creates a convenient transport
system for the localities, it will boost the development of the Hoa Binh reservoir
and the Moc Chau national tourism sites, as well as facilitate the
implementation of several local projects. It is also expected to ease
congestion on National Highway No.6 through Hoa Binh and Son La.
The envisioned highway is to be about 85 km long, of which
some 49 km will run through Hoa Binh province and the rest, through Van Ho and
Moc Chau districts of Son La province.
After the completion of its first phase at a
total cost of over 22.29 trillion VND (952.05 million USD), the road will allow
vehicles to travel at 60 – 80 km per hour.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
