Many households have demolished kiosks, fences, barns, etc., while the rest are harvesting crops on the land. According to the road boundary, this upgrade not only widens the road surface, but also cuts some large curves, so in addition to home garden land and forestry land, there is also rice field land given priority for road construction.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Khang, a farmer in Quang Thanh hamlet, Huong Son commune, is actively harvesting acacia trees along the road with his family members. He said that his family's forestry land along the road is about 60m long, and the entire area has been planted with 4-year-old acacia trees. However, when the locality mobilized the familiesdonate landTo let the government upgrade the road, the family immediately agreed.

“My whole family is harvesting acacia trees to sell to traders, handing over land to the State to build roads. For a long time, people living in this remote area have suffered from many disadvantages, due to the degraded transportation system, difficult access for vehicles, and difficult consumption of agricultural products. Therefore, when the State had a project to upgrade the road, my family agreed to donate land. Now I hope the State will soon complete the road to reduce people's suffering,” Mr. Nguyen Viet Khang shared.

The project to renovate and upgrade this route will cut some curves, facilitating safe traffic. In the photo: The curve of Khe Chui bridge in Huong Son commune will be cut, so some of the production land here will be used for road expansion. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Huong Son Commune is the locality with the longest length of this road, with 13km. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoi - Chairman of Huong Son Commune People's Committee said: The Huong - Phu - Hanh road has been severely degraded, making it difficult for people to travel, especially during the sugarcane and acacia harvest season, when cars do not want to enter and transport, and many times they are forced to pay higher prices, making people angry. Therefore, when the State has a policy to upgrade this road, the local government focused on propaganda and mobilizing people to donate land.

After 3 rounds of site clearance, from February until now, the locality has basically completed the site clearance work (currently there is only 1 household that has not agreed, the commune continues to mobilize). This was achieved thanks to the consensus of the people to dismantle assets and harvest crops on the land... all of which were voluntary by the people, the commune did not have to support or compensate.

“From this road axis, Huong Son commune has also invested in a 300m extension to the gate of the commune People's Committee, creating a more spacious appearance for the commune center. The locality is implementing concrete pouring on the road from Trung My hamlet to the commune People's Committee, with a total investment of 6 billion VND from the district budget. The upgraded roads are an opportunity for Huong Son to have better conditions for socio-economic development, striving to reach the new rural destination in the coming years,” said Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoi.
