Placing the station at Song Phan to pay for the return of Dong Nai bridge 150 km was agreed before the Office of Government and Ministry of Finance agreed.

On May 3, the news from the Binh Thuan People’s Committee said that the Ministry of Transport has received a written response after receiving the request for discount or discount tickets and expand the scope of exemptions and reductions for vehicles at toll stations Song Phan, Ham Thuan Nam, Binh Thuan.

Prior to the reaction of the local people, after many times to discharge the station, from 0 pm on January 16, the Phan River ticket station began to reduce ticket prices for vehicles around stations including Ham Minh, Ham Cuong and Nam Tan Quarter, Thuan Nam Town. Specifically, within a radius of 5 km from the Phan River charging station, the reduction is 50% for non-commercial vehicles and 40% for other vehicles. However, people continued to protest.

According to the proposal of People’s Committee of Binh Thuan province, people in this area have suffered many disadvantages when they have to pay repair fees, upgrading Dong Nai bridge for National Highway 1 but very rarely have to move over Dong Nai bridge, As of March 20, 1818, people paid a fee through the station for 17 years. Therefore, the province proposes to waive 100% of fares for non-commercial means, a 50% discount on fares for business vehicles (including government vehicles and non-vehicles) within a 10 km radius. with the Phan River station.

However, according to the Ministry of Transport, from March1, 2001 to December 31, 2008, this station paid fees to pay the budget, serving the management and maintenance of national highway system in accordance with regulations on fees and charges . From January 1, 2009 to November 30, 2014, the Prime Minister approved the use of the Song Phan toll to invest in the construction of new Dong Nai bridge.

Song Phan charging station.

An official from the People’s Committee of Binh Thuan province said the Ministry of Transport calculations every day, including two months stop charging to assume that people in this area pay the station less than 17 years is not correct. That is not to mention the conclusions (February 27, 2018) of the State Audit (State Audit), on 26, May 2008, the Ministry of Transport signed BOT contract to build Dong Nai bridge with Construction Corporation No. 1 and recorded in the contract agreement was collected at the station Phan. However, this contract was made before the approval of the Office of the Government and the Ministry of Finance.

It is the “lamp in front of the car” so on January 1, 2009, the station closed barie fee while until December 31, 2009 Dong Nai bridge new traffic. After many reactions, in the end, the new Song Phan station stopped charging for Dong Nai bridge. In particular, the amount of over VND 176 billion that investors have after five years six months to collect fees from the Song Phan toll station from the Dong Nai bridge to … 150 km but not the books of the financial plan. This increases the cost of capital investment, increases the project discount rate, and increases the payback period of the project.

Based on auditing, the State Audit proposes to reduce the charging time from 18 years, four months 10 days to 10 years seven months 24 days, reducing to seven years eight months 16 days.
