However, some projects are progressing slowly, with incomplete documentation. Urgent and focused efforts are required to ensure submission to the City People’s Council as scheduled.
For the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge project, the Vice Chairman directed the Urban Railway Management Board and the Urban Development Management Board to promptly provide written opinions to the Department of Finance by January 14th, without delay.
The Department of Construction must also submit its written opinion to the Department of Finance, review and finalize the project’s investment proposal, ensuring consistency and alignment. This includes addressing feedback from relevant agencies, the Economic-Budget Committee of the City People’s Council, and other stakeholders, with completion by January 14th.
The Department of Finance is tasked with reviewing and drafting the City People’s Committee’s proposal for the City People’s Council’s approval of the project’s investment policy. This must be completed by January 16th, adhering to all necessary procedures and regulations.
In addition to the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge, Vice Chairman Bui Xuan Cuong instructed departments to expedite other projects for submission to the City People’s Council. These include the upgrade of Vinh Loc Road, the Cat Lai – Phu Huu Port Road, and the East-West Axis Road extension.
Previously, the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge project was proposed as a PPP (BOT contract) initiative. On January 7th, the Third Conference of the City Party Committee approved switching the project’s funding to public investment, ensuring efficient use of city resources within the 2026-2030 medium-term public investment plan.
