The protected area is 200m long, starting from km1+900. There are 6 households involved here, belonging to hamlet 15, Nghi Trung commune (Nghi Loc). They are the households of Mr. and Mrs. Vuong Xuan Thanh, Tran Hong Loi, Vo Thi Thuy, Dinh Van Hao, Le Duc Tho and Le Duc Thien.

Previously, on August 1, 2018, this road section was handed over to the contractor by the Nghi Loc District Compensation Council in coordination with the Nghi Trung Commune People's Committee. However, the land handed over to the above households was still entangled with the water supply pipeline of Nghe An Water Supply Company.

During the construction suspension, these households filed complaints, demanding compensation for land outside the fence. The District People's Committee organized to verify the origin of the land, and informed the households that the complained land belonged to the traffic corridor and would not be compensated. However, these households did not comply and obstructed the contractor from carrying out the construction.
