Nghe An Provincial People's Committee held a meeting to resolve difficulties in some key traffic projects in the area.

At the meeting, comrade Hoang Phu Hien and representatives of provincial departments and branches heard the opinions presented by localities and units related to the above projects.

For the project to renovate and expand National Highway 46, Vinh - Nam Dan section, with a total length of about 10.69km, so far only the compensation plan, site clearance and compensation payment have been approved for 4km, reaching 37.41%.

Currently, the biggest problem in the site clearance of this project is that many infrastructure works such as lighting lines; medium and low voltage electricity; trees, water supply pipes... have not been completely relocated. Due to the cost of compensating garden land with agricultural land, many households have not agreed to hand over the site.

As for the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 7, section Km0-Km36, and handle landslides caused by storms and floods, section Khe Thoi - Nam Can, although it started in 2022, and has been extended 3 times, up to now, there are still 1,179km through Dien Chau and Yen Thanh that have not been completed. The reason is that many households request compensation for the land area from the foot of National Highway 7 (outside the issued Land Use Rights Certificate); many households do not agree with the compensation price...

After listening to the difficulties, problems as well as opinions and proposals from local authorities and project management boards, comrade Hoang Phu Hien gave clear instructions.

Regarding the project to renovate and expand National Highway 46, Vinh - Nam Dan section, comrade Hoang Phu Hien requested that by June 20, the Nam Dan District People's Committee must complete the site clearance work. To do this, Nam Dan District is requested to reorganize the site clearance council; closely review site clearance records related to garden land, agricultural land, resettled households, etc.

Continue to urge the managing units to carry out the relocation of technical infrastructure works under the responsibility of the district (electricity lines, trees). Coordinate with units with affected works within the scope of land acquisition and clearance to complete the relocation to hand over the site to the construction unit.

Regarding the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 7, section Km0-Km36, and handle landslides caused by storms and floods in the Khe Thoi - Nam Can section, after having to postpone the progress many times, and the risk of the project being stopped to hand over to the province, comrade Hoang Phu Hien requested the People's Committees of Dien Chau and Yen Thanh districts to resolutely speed up the work of preparing land acquisition and clearance records for households that have not yet been handed over; consolidate and complete procedures for compensation and clearance; in case of forced enforcement and construction protection, all work must be completed by May 2025 at the latest to promptly hand over the clean site to the construction unit.

Comrade Hoang Phu Hien also requested relevant departments and branches, including the Department of Construction, to take the lead in promptly collecting recommendations and advising the Provincial People's Committee to handle difficulties and problems with the above projects, ensuring that the projects are completed on schedule.
