Efforts made to accelerate site clearance for Moc Chau main road project

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau on August 14 worked with relevant departments, agencies, and the People’s Committees of Moc Chau, Thao Nguyen, Van Son and Moc Son wards, and Chieng Son commune to review the site clearance progress for the Moc Chau main road project.

 

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau visit the construction site of the Moc Chau main road project.

The project was approved by the provincial People’s Committee under Decision No. 2018/QD-UBND dated August 31, 2021. The 10-km route passes through Van Son, Moc Son, and Moc Chau wards, starting at Km183 on National Highway 6 in residential area 70 of Van Son ward and ending at Km192+800 on National Highway 6 in residential area 5 of Moc Chau ward. The project covers 41.9 hectares of land, including 35.8 hectares requiring site clearance, affecting around 600 households.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau visits the construction site of the Moc Chau main road project.

To date, the project has approved 57 rounds of compensation and support payments, along with one additional support package, benefiting 342 households and individuals, and recovering about 24.4 hectares of land. Regarding construction, five contract packages are underway, covering equipment and landscaping supply; road sections from Km0–Km4, Km4–Km8, and Km8–Km10; as well as the relocation and restoration of the 35kV power system to facilitate site clearance.

A leader of Moc Son ward presents a report at the meeting.

At the meeting, the project investor and the People’s Committees of the wards reported on roadblocks that have slowed site clearance, resulting in a lack of clean ground to hand over to contractors for construction in line with the schedule.

Several resettlement areas have yet to complete land acquisition and infrastructure development, complicating the allocation of compensation land for affected households.

Roadbed fill materials for the route are being coordinated among different packages within the project scope; however, as construction sites remain interspersed and disconnected between packages, the transport of soil and stone for roadbed works continues to face challenges.

In addition, some sections in the project’s design remain incompatible with the actual conditions of nearby residential areas and require adjustments.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau speaks at the working session. 

Speaking at the meeting, Hau asked the project investor and wards to press contractors to speed up construction. He called for prompt compensation pricing for eligible households so cleared land can be handed over early to construction units.

Hau also urged them to verify land origins, set compensation rates for areas where work has yet to begin, and accelerate planned resettlement projects. He emphasised the need to step up public outreach to understand residents’ concerns and build consensus for the project.
