Ca Mau province invests over 238 billion VND in new coastal road project

The People's Committee of Ca Mau province has approved a significant infrastructure project to construct a road from Ho Gui to the coastal road, with a total investment exceeding 238.6 billion VND from the provincial budget. This initiative is expected to enhance local connectivity and stimulate socio-economic development in the region.

The new 3.57 km road will link the Ho Gui fishing port directly to the coastal transport axis. The project is slated for implementation in Tan Tien commune between 2026 and 2029, with the provincial Department of Transport Construction Project Management Board serving as the investor.

The road's design includes two sections. The first 2.3 km stretch, from the starting point to the Ho Gui fishing port, will be built to the Class V plain road standard, allowing for speeds of 40 km/h and accommodating two lanes. The subsequent 1.27 km section, from the fishing port to the end of the route, will adhere to the Class VI plain road standard, with a design speed of 30 km/h and a single lane.

In addition to the roadway, the project encompasses the construction of three bridges: Dam Chim, Trang Tram 1, and Trang Tram 2. It also includes the development of access roads for residents, drainage systems, lighting, and traffic signaling. Of the total investment, over 17.4 billion VND is allocated for land acquisition and resettlement, while construction costs amount to more than 175 billion VND. The remainder covers project management, consulting services, and contingency funds.

The provincial authorities have tasked the Department of Transport Construction Project Management Board with ensuring the accuracy of project documentation. The Department of Finance will advise on fund allocation according to the project's timeline, and the People's Committee of Tan Tien commune will collaborate on land compensation, site clearance, and managing the existing land status within the project area.
