Photo: Investment Newspaper The Ministry of Construction has just issued a document urging the progress of component project 2 of the Khanh Hoa-Buon Ma Thuot expressway construction investment project phase 1. The document clearly states that in recent times, the Ministry of Construction has issued many documents urging and directing the Railway Project Management Board (investor) to focus on implementing component project 2 of the Khanh Hoa-Buon Ma Thuot expressway project phase 1. Progress is slow compared to However, up to now, the overall progress of the project is still 8.15% slow compared to the Governments direction requiring ensuring technical traffic clearance before September 2, 2026. In particular, items at locations that determine the progress to soon deploy construction (Phuong Hoang tunnel, Cu San 9 bridge, Km44 + 875 bridge and Km62 + 525 bridge), technical handling of the projects site is still ongoing. slow, with no positive changes compared to the inspections of the Ministry of Construction. To put the project into operation on the entire line before December 31, 2026, the Ministry of Construction requested the Director of the Railway Project Management Board to hold a meeting to review and clarify responsibilities with relevant units and contractors who are currently slow, especially contractors performing items at locations that determine the projects progress, to come up with solutions to speed up construction, compensate for the slow volume, and ensure ensure progress. Construction contractors immediately re-create detailed plans for each item at locations where progress has been slow to ensure feasibility (which must provide specific timelines for mobilizing machinery, equipment, supplies, materials, detailed construction progress, taking into account time provisions, etc.); request to urgently overcome difficulties and obstacles, mobilize enough financial resources, supplement machinery, equipment, and human resources to speed up progress; Urgently coordinate closely with relevant units to proactively seek sources of stone materials for asphalt concrete, completed before July 31, 2026. The Railway Project Management Board urgently directs the technical design unit to organize a survey and thoroughly evaluate the geological and topographic conditions at the locations of deeply dug and embanked roadbed slopes, especially abutments and bridge piers located on steep slopes,... with potential risks of landslides and impacts. to project safety as a basis for calculating and providing specific solutions for each case of bridge abutments and piers, slope slopes to immediately deploy construction to ensure stability and safety of the project. Accelerating payment progress Assessing the current disbursement rate of the project is low, the Ministry of Construction requested the Railway Project Management Board to direct and speed up the construction progress, internal work and payment procedures for completed volumes. The Director of the Railway Project Management Board is fully responsible to the Minister of Construction if the projects disbursement target is not met as planned. The Ministry of Construction assigns the State Department of Construction Quality Inspection to strengthen quality management for the project, and at the same time coordinates with the Railway Project Management Board to comment on the dossier of field technical solutions to ensure the selection of appropriate design options and long-term project stability. Vietnam Road Administration is the host. Actively monitor, urge and promptly advise and report to the Ministry of Construction on difficulties and obstacles during project construction; Coordinate and monitor the Railway Project Management Board to strictly control the progress of bidding packages and items at the position that determines the progress of the project, and urge implementation to ensure according to the milestone of technical traffic opening on September 2, 2026, put into operation before December 31, 2026. Lack of materials, lack of labor According to Vietnam Road Administration, Project Component 2 is currently only completed about 70.62% contract value. After more than a month since the inspection on May 22, 2026, construction output only increased by 3.62%, equivalent to about 307 billion VND, making the entire project still about 8.15% behind the technical opening plan on September 2, 2026. The main reason is lack of stone source for asphalt concrete production, increased fuel prices, labor shortage, while some contractors have not fully mobilized workers. resources, machinery and equipment as committed. Notably, critical road items such as Phuong Hoang tunnel, Cu San 9 bridge, Km44+875 bridge and Km62+525 bridge have not yet had clear changes despite being repeatedly urged by the Ministry of Construction and the Vietnam Road Administration. These are items that directly affect the goal of technical traffic opening of the entire route before September 2, 2026.
