Recorded on January 11, Nguyen Duy street along the north bank of Doi canal (passing through Phu Dinh and Chanh Hung wards, District 8 before) became clear when a series of houses along the canal were completely dismantled or are in the process of relocation.
At many locations where land has been handed over, the construction unit mobilized machinery and workers to deploy pile pressing and concrete embankment construction.
According to the Compensation and Site Clearance Board of District 8, the Doi Canal North bank renovation project has about 1,600 households subject to land recovery.
In Phu Dinh ward, the project affected 804 households. To date, 731 households have received compensation money, of which 587 households have handed over land.
Currently, there are 217 households that have not been handed over, mainly due to legal problems regarding land and houses, inheritance (155 cases) or disagreement on compensation prices and land origin (62 cases).
In Chanh Hung ward, the project recovered land from 791 households. Currently, 771 households have received money, and 719 households have handed over land.

The project to renovate the North bank of the Doi canal was started on August 13, 2025, with a total length of more than 4 km.
The project will build more than 4.3 km of embankment along the canal, combined with dredging part of the canal bed to improve flow, reduce pollution and improve environmental sanitation.
Along with that, the two roads Hoai Thanh and Nguyen Duy will be expanded to 20 m, contributing to improving regional traffic connections.
