The project to relocate the Đà Nẵng Railway Station and related works out of the city centre is considered one of the important projects for infrastructure, socio-economic and security development of the city.
However, currently investment resources for the railway industry are still limited, along with the Government's priority to focus on the expressway network, leading to prolonged time to relocate the railway station to a new place.
According to the Report No 223/BC-UBND, issued in the end of last month the Đà Nẵng People's Committee has aleady selected a consulting unit, researched and compiled a plan to relocate the railway.
The municipal Party Committee approved the plan, in which all auxiliary works and railway agencies of the station will move to Kim Liên Station, the passengers’ part will move to Trung Nghĩa Lake area.
Currently, the city is asking for opinions from the Ministry of Transport and relevant agencies.
It is expected that by October this year, the detailed planning will be completed and by October next year, the feasibility study report will be completed.
Another major piece of engineering work is the bridge across the Hàn River connecting the Đống Đa-Trần Phú Street in Hải Châu District to the Vân Đồn-Trần Hưng Đạo Street in Sơn Trà District), also known as the Hàn River tunnel.
It is under the city’s planning for the period of 2021-30, vision to 2050, which was approved by the Prime Minister.
The Đà Nẵng Department of Transport has worked with units to evaluate and approve investment preparation.
It is expected to complete the project’s pre-feasibility study report and submit to competent authorities for appraisal in the end of this year.
For the Đà Nẵng Airport Tunnel project, the Đà Nẵng People's Committee proposed to allocate capital this year to carry out investment preparation work as a basis for implementation.
In addition, the Hòa Liên-Túy Loan Expressway project has a total length of 11.5km and investment of more than VNĐ2.1 billion (US$82.4 million). Of which, site clearance compensation is more than VNĐ951 billion ($37.3 million).
Resettlement land will be fully completed next year.
