Lam Dong has requested relevant units to simultaneously install boundary markers for land clearance outside the actual terrain for the Tan Phu Bao Loc expressway and Bao Loc – Lien Khuong expressway routes.
On May 27th, the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee stated that it has issued a directive requesting the Project Management Board of the Provincial Transport Project to coordinate with the People’s Committees of districts and related cities to urgently implement the simultaneous installation of temporary boundary markers according to the design plan for land clearance compensation. This will serve as the basis for preparing documentation and procedures for land clearance compensation for the Tan Phu Bao Loc expressway and Bao Loc – Lien Khuong expressway projects.
The province has set a deadline of June 30th for completing this task in order to finalize the documentation and procedures for project commencement in September 2023.
According to the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee, the construction project of the Tan Phu – Bao Loc and Bao Loc – Lien Khuong expressways has been identified as a key project according to the Resolution of the 11th Provincial Party Congress of Lam Dong Province for the term 2020 – 2025. Completing the documentation and procedures for project commencement is a particularly important political task for the province in 2023. However, the progress in completing the feasibility study report for the project and implementing some related documentation and procedures has been slow and has not met the requirements.
Commencement of Tan Phu Bao Loc Expressways and Bao Loc – Lien Khuong Expressways
The investment project for the construction of the Tan Phu – Bao Loc expressway has a length of about 66km (11km within Tan Phu District, Dong Nai Province; 55km within Lam Dong Province – passing through districts: Da Teh, Da Huoai, Bao Lam, and Bao Loc city). The road is built according to highway standards (TCVN 5729:2012) with a design speed of 80km/h. In phased stages, the road will have a foundation width of 17m with 4 lanes for automobiles. The total investment for the phased stages is 17.2 trillion VND (State capital participation: 6.5 trillion VND, including 2 trillion VND from the central budget and 4.5 trillion VND from the Lam Dong provincial budget); owner’s equity: 1.605 trillion VND, and 9.095 trillion VND from mobilized sources). The completion phase will have a wider road cross-section of 22m (4 lanes for automobiles and 2 continuous emergency stopping lanes).
Meanwhile, the Bao Loc – Lien Khuong expressway project has a length of 73.4km, starting from the interchange with the Tan Phu – Bao Loc expressway and ending at the interchange with the Bao Loc – Lien Khuong expressway; passing through Bao Loc city and districts: Bao Lam, Di Linh, and Duc Trong. The road is constructed according to highway standards (TCVN 5729:2012) with a design speed of 100km/h. The cross-section scale for the completion phase consists of 4 lanes with a roadbed width of 24.75m; phased investment for phase 1 with a roadbed width of 17m, operating speed of 80km/h, and emergency stopping locations arranged every 4 – 5km in the same direction of travel. The total investment for phase 1 of the project is approximately 19.521 trillion VND (State capital is about 7.761 trillion VND, with the provincial budget contributing around 4.000 trillion VND).
Both expressway projects are carried out to gradually develop a comprehensive infrastructure system, enhance connectivity, reduce travel time connecting the Central Highlands provinces with the key economic region in the south and economic, social, and industrial centers along National Highway 20. This aims to improve the capacity for transporting goods, trade, and foreign relations, meeting the increasing demand, reducing congestion and traffic accidents on National Highway 20, which is currently overloaded, especially at traffic hotspots in the Bao Loc pass area.
Simultaneously, upon the completion of the two expressway routes (expected in 2026 and 2027), it will generate a significant boost to economic and social development, catalyze tourism in Lam Dong province specifically and the Central Highlands region as a whole. It will play an important role in expanding the urban space, constructing, and developing Da Lat city into a modern urban area.
