Mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn Trung Lương - Mỹ Thuận

Mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn Trung Lương - Mỹ Thuận

Mùng 6 tết, Bộ Giao thông Vận tải sẽ khởi công mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn Trung Lương - Mỹ Thuận dài 58 km trên địa bàn tỉnh Tiền Giang, nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu vận tải đang gia tăng trên tuyến đường từ TP HCM đi Cần Thơ.

Hiện nay lưu lượng giao thông trên tuyến này lên tới hơn 36.000 lượt xe/ngày đêm, và sẽ tăng gấp1,5 lần vào năm 2010. Với quy mô hiện tại là 2 làn xe cơ giới thì tuyến đường này không thể đáp ứng được nhu cầu trong khu vực, đồng thời làm giảm hiệu quả của dự án mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn TP HCM - Trung Lương đã hoàn thành.

Dự án mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn Trung Lương - Mỹ Thuận nhằm tăng khả năng lưu thông của tuyến bằng cách mở rộng mặt cắt ngang đường lên 20 m. Trên tuyến sẽ có 6 nút giao và 6 cầu mới bên cạnh các cầu hiện hữu. Tổng mức đầu tư của dự án gần 600 tỷ đồng, thời gian thi công sẽ kéo dài khoảng 1 năm.

Quốc lộ 1 vốn là “xương sống” của mạng giao thông khu vực đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Những năm qua, Bộ Giao thông Vận tải đã triển khai trên đoạn tuyến này nhiều dự án như WB1, cầu Mỹ Thuận, 19 cầu OECF, mở rộng quốc lộ 1 đoạn TP HCM - Trung Lương... nên tình trạng ùn tắc đã không còn, số vụ tai nạn giao thông cũng giảm đi rõ rệt.

INFRASTRUCTURE: VIETNAM TO BUILD 300KM OF HO CHI MINH HIGHWAY IN 2005


Vietnam plans to build an additional 300 kilometers for the Ho Chi Minh Highway this year, said Pham Hong Son, head of the second transnational road project's Management Unit.

The construction will include 59 km for Bac Bo-Cao Bang route, 175 km for Cam Lo-Tuy Loan route, 15.3 km for Gia Nghia road, 4.5 km for Phong Nha-Ke Bang route, 13 km for Hoa Lac-Xuan Mai route, 22 km for Tan Canh-Ngoc Hoi route, and a 7.2km road section linking the expressway to Hai Thuong Lan Ong memorial.

The Ho Chi Minh highway has been built since 2000 and its 1,212 kilometers road section from Quang Thach in northern Thanh Hoa province to Ngoc Hoi in the central highlands province of Kon Tum is now open to traffic, Son said.

He added that a total of 41 large and 209 medium bridges along the road had also been put in use.

The Ho Chi Minh highway is the largest transport infrastructure construction project in Vietnam with a total investment capital of nearly VND8,000 billion ($ 509.6 million).

Upon completion in 2010, the highway will run parallel to the existing National Highway No. 1. Its construction is crucial to the development of remote areas and is expected to help narrow the socio-economic gap between rural and urban regions.

In related news, the government has recently drafted a plan to invest some VND119,902 billion ($ 7.6 billion) on industrial development in 16 provinces along the road for the 2004-2010 period.

The industrial development along the highway will focus on hydro power, farm produce processing, mining and mineral processing, and construction materials production.

A number of large projects will be conducted, including the Dac Nong bauxite-aluminum complex, major cement plants in Ha Tay, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, and Binh Phuoc provinces.

VIETNAM TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION OF MOST MODERN ROAD



The construction of the Lang-Hoa Lac Highway, which links Hanoi's Trung Hoa Bridge with Highway No. 21 ending at Ha Tay's Hoa Lac Town, will begin on January 19, a local media reported.

The 30-kilometer road will be widened by five times from the current to
140 meters in width, becoming the most modern highway in Vietnam.

The Lang-Hoa Lac road will have three express and one urban lanes each way. Besides, an urban railway and a pipeline leading fresh water from Da River to Hanoi will be built along the road.

The project, with costs of VND5.3 trillion ($ 337.6 million), will be
invested by Ministry of Transport with representative by Thang Long
Project Management Unit and the Vietnam Construction Import Export
Corporation (Vinaconex).

Construction of the road is to be completed by 2006, allowing vehicles
to travel at 120 kilometers per hour.

Hoa Lac is set to become an economic, cultural and scientific center of
Ha Tay. New urban areas, a new high-tech park and a new industrial park will be built there. The town is also the northern end of a new north-south road, which is under construction.

Vietnam Plans More Expressways For Next 20 Years

VIETNAM PLANS MORE EXPRESSWAYS FOR NEXT 20 YEARS


Vietnam plans to build 150 kilometers of expressways each year in order to bring total the length of expressways nationwide to 3,000 kilometers in the next 20 years, according to the general director, Tran Xuan Sanh, of the newly established Vietnam Expressway Development and Investment Co. (VEC).

The Ministry of Transport is seeking government approval to spend about VND100 trillion ($ 6.36 billion) to build 13 expressway routes with a total length of 1,354 km between now and 2015.

These routes will connect the country's key economic regions and
industrial zones, including Bac Giang-Bac Ninh, Cau Gie-Thanh Hoa,
Danang-Quang Ngai, HCM City-Long Thanh-Dau Day, Hanoi-Hai Phong,
Hanoi-Doan Hung, Hanoi-Thai Nguyen, Lang-Hoa Lac, Noi Bai-Bac Ninh,
Bien Hoa-Vung Tau, Dau Day-Da Lat, and Ben Luc-Nhon Trach-Vung Tau.

VEC will mobilize capital from construction bond issuance with the
terms of five, seven, ten or 15 years, in order to build expressways. It is in charge of investing, building, managing, maintaining the expressways and collecting fees. VEC has total chartered capital of VND1 trillion ($ 63.7 million), and is under the umbrella of the Ministry of Transport.

VEC will focus on building the two expressways of Cau Gie-Ninh Binh and Trung Luong-My Thuan in 2005.

Vietnam now has only about 100 kilometers of expressways, including
sections of Hanoi-Cau Gie, Hanoi-Bac Ninh, and Noi Bai-Bac Ninh.

Building more expressways aims to meet growing demand by traffic means in the country and serve the country's economic development. Vietnam now has more than 15 million motorbikes, 10 million bicycles, and nearly 500,000 automobiles under circulation.
