Vinh City determined to clear land for key projects

Road project not completed after 16 years

Le Ninh Street Upgrade and Expansion Project (Vinh city) was approved for investment by Nghe An Provincial People's Committee in 2002, implemented in 2006, the total investment of the project is 23.5 billion VND, with a construction scale of 2,957m long, starting point at Vinh Station gate, ending point intersecting with National Highway 1A, construction boundary of 41m, roadway of 21m. However, it has not been completed yet.

New projectcan only do paragraphsVinh Stationto the Transport Hospital and the section from the 72m overpass to Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, with a total length of approximately 2km; the remaining section of nearly 500m from the Transport Hospital to the 72m overpass is still unfinished. In addition, the NamYangJu – Dasan road (funded by Korea) is adjacent to Le Ninh Street, but because this route has not been completed, the NamYangJu – Dasan route has not been adjacent either, creating a shabby empty lot in the middle of the city. Because the road has not been completed, dozens of households in Quan Bau Ward 16 have had to live in cramped, dilapidated houses for years, unable to expand, because the residential land of these households is included in the above-mentioned project.

The later section of NamYangJu - Dasan Road is not yet fully open due to land acquisition problems.

This project is stuck and has been delayed for 16 years. Up to now, there are still many problems, for example: For 23 plots of land at Quan Banh intersection, households no longer have the original documents on land allocation or land allocation for business; cannot show how much area was allocated, how much money was paid...; Cannot determine the time of construction of the plot; Cannot determine the area of ​​land that households are using that was affected by the previous reclamation and expansion of Dang Thai Mai Street and National Highway 1A (no records are kept)... Therefore, the city has difficulty in paying compensation for site clearance.

To continue implementing the project, for the section from the Traffic Hospital to the 72m road (76 households), according to the city's report, the plan has been basically approved and the site has been handed over, while 3 new plots of land have been re-measured (households of Mr. Hai, Mr. Thang, and Ms. An); 2 households of Le Ngoc Hoang and Ms. Le Thi Ha are in the process of handing over additional land.

For the 3 plots of land with revised extracts and the plot of land of the Foreign Trade Bank of Nghe An (plot 503), partially recovered, no resettlement, the City People's Committee has approved specific land prices. Currently, the Land Fund Development Center is publicizing the compensation and support plan for site clearance. For Mr. Le Ngoc Hoang's household (plot 557, sheet 28), the City People's Committee issued a specific land price decision on April 7, 2022, arranging resettlement land plots.
