Download Part of Dai Ngai Bridge 1 on the bank of Cu Lao Dung commune is gradually taking shape - Photo: Thanh Nien Newspaper According to a report from Project Management Board 85 (Ministry of Construction), the Dai Ngai Bridge construction investment project was started on October 15, 2023, expected to be completed on June 15, 2028. All bidding packages are behind schedule. The project is divided into 2 construction packages, currently the contractor is mobilizing a total of 34 construction jobs on the construction site. The output to date is 3,701/5,163 billion VND, reaching 71.68% of the contract, 2.3% behind the approved schedule. In particular, Package 11-XL to construct Dai Ngai bridge, route and works on the line (total investment of 1,727.68 billion VND) is currently achieving construction output of 70.36%, 4.5% slower than planned. In particular, the construction of the overpass is progressing while the road part is slow. Construction and installation package No. 15-XL is mobilizing 26 construction tasks. The progress of this bidding package has only reached 46.31 and is currently 1.3% behind schedule. For the 12.3m section of National Highway 60 (from National Highway 91B to existing National Highway 60), the Ministry of Construction approved the adjusted investment project in Decision No. 394/QD-BXD dated March 25, 2026, Project Management Board 85 has completed the selection of survey and design consulting contractor. Technical design, the consulting unit is currently carrying out survey work on the construction site. It is expected to complete the technical design work and strive to start construction at the end of the third quarter of 2026, the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2026. Lack of materials hinders construction progress. Project Management Board 85 also pointed out difficulties and obstacles in site clearance, fuel price fluctuations, and lack of material sources as factors hindering the construction and progress of the Dai Ngai 2 Bridge Project. Specifically, the project still has 3 households blocking the project. Impeding construction on the grounds that the house cracked and required compensation with a very large value (outside the insurance companys calculation range), the parties involved came to an agreement on the basis of insurance calculations, but the households did not agree. Up to now, the local independent consulting unit is reviewing and preparing compensation estimates as a basis for continued negotiations. On the other hand, rising gasoline prices have greatly affected the work of purchasing and gathering fuel to organize construction; In addition, the high price of anchor fuel has led to an increase in the price of all other raw materials and transportation costs. In particular, the work of gathering rubble to the construction site for the construction of the embankment is very limited. The mines supplying the project (two mines in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, now Ho Chi Minh City) prioritize stone sources to produce crushed stone and stone for concrete. There are very few rubble products, but they also supply to many projects under construction on the ground. Mekong Delta region table. Project Management Board 85 has sent a document to Ho Chi Minh City and stone quarries in the city asking for support to prioritize the source of raw stone, but up to now the source of stone is still very difficult. Some key transportation projects continue to lack construction materials. Encourage the use of waste land and rock in mining and mineral processing to produce construction materials. The locality proposes solutions to cope with the sharp increase in construction material prices. Improve state management capacity and efficiency of regulation. Regulating supply and demand, stabilizing the construction materials market Announcing construction material prices as soon as there are market fluctuations. The projects current demand for backfill land is about 1 million m2 (15-XL package is about 50,000m3 and the connecting section is about 950,000), Project Management Board 85 said that the volume of identified sources is only about 40,000m3, while the remaining 960,000m3 has not been determined. source. Similarly, the project needs about 210,000m2 of backfill land but the volume of identified source is only about 6,000m3, while 204,000m3 has not been identified; There is still 81,000m3 of stone for concrete construction whose supply has not been determined. Although Project 85 Management Board has requested the Peoples Committee of Can Tho City to assist in identifying the source of sand, embankment soil, and stone for concrete construction, however, up to now the source has not been identified. Not to mention, the project construction area is in the rainy season, the continuous heavy rain greatly affects the construction work, especially the construction of asphalt concrete and earth fill. To speed up the construction progress, Project Management Board 85 recommends that the Ministry of Construction send a document to localities (An Giang province; Dong Nai city; Ho Chi Minh City; Can Tho city) to prioritize and allocate about 25,000 m3 of crushed stone, 204,000m3 of backfill soil, 81,000m3 of stone for concrete and 960,000m3 of river sand for foundation for the Dai Ngai Bridge Project.
