Up to now, Cua Lo town and Nghi Loc district have handed over the land and opened the section through Vinh city (Nghi Phu and Nghi Duc communes). There are still 10 plots of land that cannot be recovered, so the land has not been handed over.

Based on the current status inspection, the representative of the Department of Transport requested the Vinh City People's Committee to speed up the construction progress of resettlement areas and complete procedures to hand over the 9m-wide area of land through Nghi Duc commune before March 15, 2020 and Nghi Phu commune before March 20, 2020, striving to hand over the land to the Project Management Board for construction by the end of April; consider early addition of 110 billion VND in the first quarter of 2020 to complete the site clearance work.

At the meeting, representatives of Vinh City People's Committee, Nghi Loc District and Cua Lo Town spoke about the results of recent work implementation; at the same time, they raised some difficulties and shortcomings from practice, thereby proposing and asking for opinions from the Provincial People's Committee on some measures to overcome difficulties such as exploiting land funds to create revenue sources, supporting people to demolish houses or rent houses to hand over the site early, not waiting for the completion of resettlement areas or people to finish building houses to hand over the site...

Based on receiving and listening to feedback from localities, Mr. Le Hong Vinh, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, concluded the meeting, stating: Compared to the progress and previous commitments, the project is behind schedule. The reason is that the implementation of construction and site clearance is still confusing.
