On November 7, Chairman of Hue City People’s Committee Le Tri Thanh and Vice Chairman of the City People’s Committee Tran Huu Thuy Giang inspected and surveyed several public investment and non-state-funded projects in Thuan An Ward.
The delegation focused on reviewing the progress of coastal infrastructure works and tourism and service projects, while identifying difficulties and obstacles to direct their resolution and accelerate project implementation.
Resolving Site Clearance Issues
At Thuan An Coastal Technical Infrastructure and Multi-purpose Cultural Park Project, the main components include a public square, a park, roads and site clearance to ensure integrated infrastructure connectivity. Construction has so far reached approximately 55% of the contract value, while disbursement of the 2026 allocated capital has reached 57.5% of the plan. Site clearance in the park area has been completed, while the public square area still faces difficulties due to issues involving the relocation of several graves.
Following an on-site inspection, Chairman Le Tri Thanh instructed relevant agencies to promptly resolve all site clearance issues, particularly those involving graves that have yet to be declared by their owners. He also urged them to expedite the completion of the remaining items, aiming to finish the project before the 2027 Tet holiday and disburse 100% of the allocated capital.
For the Coastal Erosion Prevention Project along the coastline of Thuan An Ward, construction began in June 2026 and is expected to be completed in December 2027. Work on the construction package has reached approximately 40% completion. The shoreline protection embankment is about 65% complete under the contract, while approximately 85% of the total submerged breakwater components have been cast. Disbursement has reached 94% of the allocated capital.
The project is crucial to preventing coastal erosion, mitigating the impact of waves, and safeguarding residential areas and coastal infrastructure. In response to strong waves, high tides, and the risk of coastal erosion in the Thuan An area, the Chairman of the City People’s Committee urged the project owner and construction contractors to mobilize resources, ensure well-planned construction suited to weather conditions, step up construction inspection, its quality supervision, and maintain construction safety.
“The relevant units should proactively review and promptly address any emerging difficulties, striving to complete the project components on schedule so that the project can soon deliver its intended benefits in protecting the coastline and safeguarding residents’ lives,” Mr. Le Tri Thanh emphasized.

The delegation also carried out the inspection of the Hai Duong Coastal Ecotourism and Resort Project, as well as the road connecting the coastal route to Hai Duong beach.
Following a briefing and on-site discussions, Chairman Le Tri Thanh directed Thuan An Ward People’s Committee to work closely with the investor and provide support in addressing land-related procedures. He also urged relevant agencies and units to clarify their respective responsibilities, coordinate effectively, and avoid administrative delays that could affect the project’s progress. The focus is on facilitating the investor’s preparations to enable construction to commence by the end of March 2027.
The road project connecting the coastal route to Hai Duong Beach is expected to span approximately 1.26 kilometers and is currently undergoing appraisal procedures for investment. The Chairman of the City People’s Committee directed the Department of Finance and relevant agencies to promptly complete the necessary procedures and proactively prepare the required conditions for early implementation once the project receives approval from the competent authorities and funding is allocated. The road is expected to improve transport infrastructure, ensure better connectivity, and tap into the potential for tourism and service development of the Hai Duong coastal area.
In addition to project progress, Chairman Le Tri Thanh stressed the importance of preserving the natural landscape and developing coastal public spaces.
During his visit to the Thuan An estuary, Chairman Le Tri Thanh highlighted the area’s scenic value, particularly its unique connection between the sea, estuary, and lagoon system. He emphasized the need to preserve existing forest areas and explore the development of a public park for community activities, recreation, and tourism experiences. The area should prioritize green spaces and public amenities rather than urban expansion.
Mr. Le Tri Thanh emphasized that departments, agencies, and local authorities must take proactive and decisive action to resolve difficulties and obstacles, while working closely with and supporting businesses and investors in compliance with legal regulations, ensuring that prolonged administrative procedures do not affect project progress.
