Work begins on north-south road link
Ha Tay, Jul 8 (VNA) - Construction starts on the 7.7 trillion VND (466.3 million USD) north-south road in Ha Tay northern province on July 6, a fast link that will provide economic and social potential for the northwest region.
The 63 km road will pass through seven districts in Ha Tay province from Phuc Tho to Phu Xuyen. The four-lane road will have a width of 42m and a separate 5m strip of trees.
Deputy Minister of Construction Tran Ngoc Chinh said the road would help reduce vehicle flow in and out Hanoi city, link with highways to provinces in the north, northwest, west, southwest and northeast; and with the Hanoi-Hai Phong expressway.
He said the road also suits Hanoi 's expansion plans and, therefore, had been advocated by the Ministries of Planning and Investment, Transport, and Environment and Natural Resources. The Prime Minister approved the project in principle on February 5.
The road will take five years to build, using the so-called Build-Transfer (BT) model, which is suitable in the current financial climate.
The provincial People's Committee chose the Nam Cuong Group as contractor for the project.
The group will build the road with its own capital and, in return, the committee will give the group land to implement other projects.
Industrial zones, urban zones with a population of 500,000, trade andservices centres, and cultural centres are expected to be established on both sides of the road.
Infrastructure such as electricity and communications will be installed underground.
