In Quynh Bang commune, the area that needs to be cleared is not large, but initially people did not agree with the plan to determine the land origin of 7 households in Tan Giang hamlet, affecting the construction progress. The district and commune People's Committees organized many meetings and dialogues with people to remove the "bottlenecks".

On the afternoon of March 30, the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district directed the People's Committee of Quynh Bang commune and related departments and offices to organize a meeting with households in Tan Giang hamlet to agree on a compensation plan through determining the origin of residential land and land for annual crops. The leader of the People's Committee of Quynh Bang commune said that out of 7 households, 5 households have land areas that need to be clearly identified for compensation price determination, the remaining 2 households have only 0.8m²and 4m²so the households have no opinion.

Some households have large land areas such as Mrs. Hoang Thi Xuan's household with 509.7m2², Mr. Ho Dinh Dam's household 179.4m², Mr. Ho Dinh Ty's household 297.4m², Mr. Ho Sy Toan's household 43.2m²,… After the dialogue, the households agreed on the plan to determine the origin of the land, compensation and committed to handing over the site for the contractor to construct.

Large volume of compensation and site clearance

According to the leaders of the Department of Transport, the route part of the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, and the bridge part is expected to be completed in February 2024. The major problem now is that the site clearance work has not met the requirements; The site handover is not continuous, making it difficult to implement the construction work.
