(HBO) – The People’s Committees of Hoa Binh and Son La provinces held a meeting on February 10 to discuss construction of the Hoa Binh-Moc Chau expressway. Besides discussing field inspection as well as contents related to the project building, both sides agreed to set up a group assisting the project’s steering board, and its operation regulations.
Vice Chairman of the
Hoa Binh province People’s Committee Bui Van Cuu speaks at the meeting.
Under
the Prime Minister’s Decision No.579/QD-TTg dated May 17, 2019, the expressway
will be built under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract, with a length
of 85 kilometres, including 49 kilometres in Hoa Binh province and 36
kilometres in Son La province’s Van Ho and Moc Chau districts.
The road will be built at a total cost of some 22.29 trillion VND (955 million USD),
900 billion VND of which is contributed by Hoa Binh province and 4.1 trillion
VND by the neighbouring province.
Currently, the two localities are making meticulous preparation to ensure the smooth
implementation of the project.
Construction of the expressway is in line with both provinces’ socio-economic
development planning.
Field inspection is underway in Son La province on February 11-13, and in Hoa
Binh province on February 10-13./.
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.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
