HỮU CHÁNH |

Hanoi - Difficulties in site clearance are hindering the progress of the project to expand National Highway 6 to a length of more than 21km, with an investment capital of VND 8,100 billion.

In December 2022, the Hanoi People's Committee started the renovation of 21.7km of National Highway 6 through Ha Dong and Chuong My districts, of which the section through Chuong My district is 15.8km long and Ha Dong is 5.9km long.

The starting point of the project is located at km14 in Ba La, Ha Dong district; the end point is km38, Xuan Mai town, Chuong My district.

The project has a total investment of 8,100 billion VND from the city budget. Of which, about VND 5,100 billion is for site clearance, VND 2,900 billion is for construction and equipment procurement costs.

According to the design, the expanded rear section has a cross-section of 50-60m, with a design speed of 80km/h. On the route, there is a box culvert (Tuan culvert) and seven bridges including: Mai Linh, Dong Tru, Tan Truong, Quan Lat, Xuan Mai, Song Bui and Nam Lu.

The project has four main intersections, including intersections of different levels (where two or more roads intersect at different elevations) with National Highway 21A, the North-South axis road and Ring Road 4.

According to the People's Committee of Chuong My district, to implement the project, the locality will have to reclaim about 85.36 hectares, 3,379 affected land plots, through 7 communes and 2 towns including: Chuc Son, Xuan Mai, Tien Phuong, Phu Nghia, Truong Yen, Dong Phuong Yen, Thanh Binh, Dong Son, Thuy Xuan Tien.

On March 11, 2024, the Hanoi People's Committee approved component project 1.2: Compensation, support and resettlement for site clearance in Chuong My district under the investment project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 6, Ba La - Xuan Mai section.

After the Decision approving the above component project 1.2, the Hanoi Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board will hand over to the People's Committee of Chuong My district for compensation, support and resettlement.

The District People's Committee has focused on directing the district's functional branches, the People's Committees of communes and towns where the project passes through to carry out compensation, support and resettlement work for the project according to regulations.

By December 12, 2024, the People's Committee of Chuong My district had handed over the site to the Hanoi Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board and the contractor with an area of about 57.58 hectares, reaching 67.45% (working land and agricultural land) to implement the project.

According to the leader of the People's Committee of Chuong My district, this project in the area is still facing difficulties in determining land origin, the application of site clearance policies and mechanisms is transitioning from the 2013 Land Law to the 2014 Land Law, from Decision No. 10/2017/QD UBND dated March 29, 2017 of the City People's Committee to Decision No. 56/2024/QD UBND dated September 6, 2024 of the City People's Committee regulating a number of contents on compensation, support, and resettlement when the State reclaims land in Hanoi.

In addition, within the scope of site clearance for the project, there are floating infrastructure works that must be moved, reclaimed national defense land to serve the purpose of socio-economic development, and moved graves at cemeteries in Xuan Mai town.

Regarding the above problems, the People's Committee of Chuong My district has reported to the People's Committee of the city, departments and branches for guidance on removing obstacles and trying to complete site clearance in the first quarter of 2026.

In Ha Dong district, the National Highway 6 expansion project with a length of nearly 6km is also being accelerated by relevant parties to hand over the site clearance progress to the project contractor.
