Con Cuong district has been making efforts to promote administrative procedure reform, creating "the best, fastest, most favorable" conditions for people and businesses.

Choose the focus - Take decisive action

On October 16, dozens of businesses at the marketCon Cuong(in the area that needs to be cleared for the construction of Thanh Nam Bridge) have voluntarily dismantled the structures and assets at the trading kiosks; agreed to relocate to a new business location. The relocation and handover of the land by the people has created conditions for the key Thanh Nam Bridge project to be completed and put into operation soon, after a period of delay.

The Thanh Nam bridge construction project across Lam River is a key and urgent project of the district.Con CuongThe project was started in September 2021 and was scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. However, due to the fact that 38 businesses and 3 households living in the area from National Highway 7 to the bridge, on the right bank of the Lam River, did not agree to relocate, the project had to extend the completion time.

After a period of persistent propaganda, mobilization, and focus on removing obstacles, the 38 business households and 3 households agreed to relocate for the common good.

This is a “victory” of the local mass mobilization work as well as administrative reform. In recent times, the district has made efforts to create the most favorable conditions for people to soon have a new place to live and do business. The district is trying to bring the project to the finish line in November 2024; soon meet the travel needs of the people and promote the socio-economic development of the locality.
