The Ninh Quới – Ngan Dừa road expansion project in Hồng Dân commune, Cà Mau province, spans nearly 11km with a total investment of over 270 billion VND. The project is managed by the former Bạc Liêu Province Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board.
This vital transportation route connects Ninh Quới, Hồng Dân, and Vĩnh Lộc communes, handling a significant volume of daily traffic.
Construction began in late 2019, initially undertaken by the joint venture between Thành Sen Construction and Consulting JSC and Minh Phú Construction Cooperative. However, due to poor performance, the contract was terminated in November 2020 with only 40% completion.
Southern Construction and Investment JSC was then selected as the replacement contractor, pledging completion by March 2023. However, progress remains sluggish, primarily due to land clearance issues at bridge sites in Ninh Thạnh and Kênh Xáng villages, Hồng Dân commune.
While bridge structures are largely complete, approach roads remain unfinished, causing significant delays. Many sections near the bridges have deteriorated into muddy, impassable areas.
Lê Văn Linh, a resident of Hồng Dân commune, expressed frustration: “The road is in terrible condition, with many unfinished sections causing frequent accidents. I recently fell and still have scars from the incident.”
Nguyễn Nhân Đức, Chairman of Hồng Dân Commune People’s Committee, stated: “Most of the road is complete, but land acquisition for four bridges remains unresolved. We’ve repeatedly negotiated with residents but to no avail. Temporarily, we’ve requested contractors to fill potholes with gravel and sand, but heavy rains quickly undo these repairs, leaving residents struggling to travel.”
The Ninh Quới – Ngan Dừa road, once envisioned as a catalyst for local socioeconomic development in the new rural area, remains stalled after six years of upgrades, leaving residents deeply frustrated.
