Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the
Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and head of the steering committee for the
province's key projects, speaks at the conference.
According to a report from the Standing Board of
the Party Committee at the provincial People's Committee, on March 20, 2025,
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed Decision No. 653/QD-TTg approving the
adjustment of the investment policy for the project to construct the Hoa Lac -
Hoa Binh road and upgrade the Xuan Mai - Hoa Binh section of National Highway 6
under the PPP model.
Specifically, the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road will
be expanded to meet highway standards with six lanes and a designed speed of
100 km/h. Under the project from 2014 to 2028, the road that is now in use had
its construction started in 2014 and was opened to traffic in 2018. The road
expansion is carried out from 2023 to 2028. The work requires about 253.82 ha,
including about 63.5 ha in Hanoi and 190.34 ha in Hoa Binh province. The
preliminary adjusted investment totals nearly 10.5 trillion VND.
At the conference, participants evaluated
results while pointing out difficulties and obstacles during the project
implementation, especially those relating to site clearance, resettlement, the
environmental impact assessment report, procedures for changing forest use
purpose, and land allocation and leasing procedures.
Concluding the event, Long emphasised that the
investment project to expand the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road plays a crucial role
in opening up opportunities for the province's development as it will gradually
complete the highway network under the road network master plan for the
2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. It will also help connect the capital
city's highways with the provinces of Hoa Binh, Son La, and Dien Bien; create a
basis to attract investors in various fields, especially urban, industrial,
trade, and service development; and drive socio-economic development in Hoa
Binh and northwestern provinces in general.
The province aims to commence the project on
July 1, 2025, he said, urging sectors, localities and investors to closely
coordinate to ensure the project's progress.
He asked the provincial People's Committee to
establish a working group led by a Vice Chairman of the provincial People's
Committee to directly oversee resolving the difficulties and obstacles of the
project.
He tasked relevant sectors to allocate resources
for site clearance. Hoa Binh city was told to focus on directing site clearance
and resettlement while organizing communication activities to win public
support for project implementation. The investor was requested to coordinate
closely with relevant agencies to promptly complete the necessary procedures to
commence the project.
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.
