The Tran Binh Trong road expansion project in Vuon Lai ward will recover about 0.4 hectares of land.

The project also includes synchronous items such as upgrading the drainage system, paving sidewalks with granite, undergrounding power grids and telecommunications infrastructure.
To implement the project, functional agencies will recover land from 116 cases, of which 97 cases must be completely cleared.
The total investment of the project is more than 985 billion VND, mostly for compensation, support and resettlement. According to the plan, the project will be completed in September 2026.
