베트남 호치민시 지하철 공사 부진으로 총리가 직접 나서


  호치민시의 2개 노선의 지하철 사업이 지연되어 응웬쑤언푹 베트남 총리가 직접챙기기에 나섰다.

사업의 지연은 자금조달에 문제가 있다. 당초보다 공사비가  2~3배가 급증했기 때문이다.


응웬쑤언푹 베트남 총리는 사업 추진의 속도를 내는 것이 프로젝트 투자자금을 효율적으로 집행하고 

도심의 교통 체증을 줄이는데 기여하게 될 것이라고 언급했다.


이어 지연된 2개의지하철 노선은 2020년까지 완공해야 하므로 더 이상 지체되서는 안된다고 점을 강조했다..


호치민시의 첫 지하철인 1호선(Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien)은 2012년 착수됐으나

당초 공사비 7억5천만불에서 공사 지연에 자재비 상승 그리고 환율로 인해 무려 3배나 증가한 20억7천만불로 

증가했다.

2호선(Ben Thanh-Tham Luong) 또한 1호선과 같은 이유로 공사비가 2배로 증가했다.


호치민시 남부지역은 교통체증으로 13백만의 시민들이 큰 불편을 겪고 있어 2020년 적기 완공은 무엇보다도 시급한 과제이다.

The city's first two metro lines, connecting the downtown's Ben Thanh with Suoi Tien theme park in District 9 and Tham Luong station in District 12, are both scheduled for completion in 2020. The first line is only half finished after six years, and work on the second line mostly remains on paper.


At a government meeting on Friday, the prime minister urged Ho Chi Minh City to promptly work with the entire government system to push the construction work for. "We cannot afford any more delays," he said.


The Ministry of Transport was tasked with finalizing reports on the project's technical appraisal and total investment. The ministries of Planning and Investment, Finance, Construction, Justice and the Government Office are required to coordinate to ensure that the project faces no further delay.


Phuc also stressed the need to fight embezzlement and corruption throughout the implementation of the project.

Once finalized by the transport and planning ministries, the total investment for the project would be reviewed by the prime minister and submitted to the legislative National Assembly for approval before the government could disburse further funds for the metro lines.




The Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien project, Ho Chi Minh City's first metro line, was approved by the city's authorities in 2005 with a total investment of VND17 trillion ($750 million). This investment was however raised to VND47 trillion in 2010 following a reevaluation due to increased workload, a hike in materials' prices and changes in the exchange rate between Vietnamese dong and Japanese yen.


Work on the 20-kilometer line eventually kicked off in August 2012 and scheduled to be completed in 2020. It has however been delayed due to lack of funding, with only 30 percent of the total investment disbursed.


The Ben Thanh-Tham Luong project has also seen its cost balloon from VND26 trillion to VND48 trillion. Construction of the line was initially set to start in 2013, but only its control center has been built. The city has asked the government to delay the work to 2020, the year it was initially scheduled to be completed.


The southern city of 13 million suffer dire traffic problem with rapid increase of individual vehicles. The metro line project has raised high hopes of smoothing travel in the city, but the long wait has somehow curbed enthusiasm.
