“Delete the highway” in the Northwest, Central Highlands and the South?

On the issue of slow, asynchronous and “white” highways in the Central Highlands, the South, and the Northwest were also mentioned by delegate Truong Trong Nghia.

Mr. Nghia asked the Minister of Transport to clarify that investment in transport infrastructure costs hundreds of billions of dollars. If it is properly allocated, it will promote it; if it is not, it will be a waste and hinder development.

Mr. The affirmed that the problem of uneven distribution of highways has been identified by the Central Government and the Government. Recently, the Government has approved the expressway planning, aiming to build 5,000km of expressway to balance between regions and regions and exploit the potentials of regions.

For example, the Belt 3 project in Ho Chi Minh City and the Ring 4 project in Hanoi are spaces for the development of big cities and economic centers, so public investment is determined to complete.

The Mekong Delta region is always reflected in the weak expressway system, which makes it difficult to attract investment. Therefore, the Ministry has advised to build the Chau Doc – Can Tho – Tran De expressway to connect the gateway routes to the Mekong Delta and create an international transport connection with Cambodia, in order to create a breakthrough for the Mekong Delta region. by the Mekong River.

Bien Hoa – Vung Tau project is a lifeline expressway for the whole Southeast route, without this highway, goods will not be able to arrive at Cai Mep – Thi Vai port.

According to Mr. The, National Highway 51 is currently overloaded, so this project should be invested in the form of public investment to be completed soon. Or build a highway from the Central Highlands to South Van Phong to develop this area in the direction of industry…

In summary, according to the commander of the transport sector, the planning and plans of the Party and the State, a number of regions have potential strengths and need to invest in highways to create breakthroughs and attract investment; or well-developed areas, congested infrastructure also “needs further investment”.

“Traffic workers are very happy because this term the National Assembly and the Government have given great support to key national transport projects,” Minister The said.

Mr. The also hoped that with the current development plan of expressways, after this term, the mismatch between the expressways between regions would be overcome.
