A leader of the provincial Project Management Board for Transport Construction delivers a report at the meeting.

At the meeting, representatives from provincial departments, sectors, and localities reported on the project’s progress. For component project No.1 on compensation, support, resettlement, and site clearance in To Mua and Van Ho communes, site clearance has been completed, and the construction unit has received the cleared land in two out of 10 designated areas.

 Households in Van Ho commune get payment for compensation and site clearance support.

For component project No.2 on compensation, support, resettlement, and site clearance in Van Son ward, progress is on schedule. To date, 10.57 hectares of land have been cleared, achieving 100% of the required volume. Regarding the additional site clearance volume, the compensation plan has been approved, and payments have been made to 25 out of 28 land owners.

Construction is underway on the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau Expressway project

For component project No.3 on transport infrastructure construction, the provincial Transport Construction Project Management Board has handed over the site to contractors for 1.06 km within Van Son. However, in Van Ho and To Mua, no land has yet been handed over to contractors. Currently, efforts are being made to persuade households to accept advance compensation and hand over the land to facilitate construction.

Transport Engineering Design Inc. (TEDI) reports on adjustments to the investment plan.

During the project implementation, several difficulties and obstacles remain, such as the lack of designated dumping sites for resettlement areas, and complicated terrain and geological conditions at the resettlement site in Pang hamlet, To Mua commune. Site clearance also faces many challenges, limiting the progress of component project No.3 on transport infrastructure construction and affecting the disbursement schedule of the 2025 capital plan.

Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Dinh Viet speaks at the meeting.

Speaking at the meeting, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee requested the People’s Committees of Van Ho, To Mua, and Van Son to accelerate site clearance to ensure timely project implementation. He emphasised the need to complete resettlement areas to help residents stabilise their lives and hand over land to the project developer.

Relevant departments and sectors were asked to coordinate in addressing difficulties and obstacles faced by project owners and local authorities according to their functions and responsibilities. Contractors were urged to maximise manpower and machinery to speed up construction once land is handed over.
