On the morning of October 15, confirming with Lao Dong reporter, the leader of the Thanh Xuan District Construction Investment Project Management Board (Hanoi) said that by 11pm on October 14, the last two households had agreed to hand over the land for the project to upgrade and expand Nguyen Tuan Street.
Households subject to site clearance have an additional month (from now until mid-November 2024) to move their belongings to their new residence.
The leader of Thanh Xuan District People's Committee said that it is expected that by the end of 2024, after completing the dismantling of works and relocation of technical infrastructure, the district will direct the Project Management Board and contractors to implement the project, striving to complete the project and put it into use by mid-2025.
When completed, the project will help reduce traffic congestion in the area, beautify the urban area, and contribute to the socio-economic development of Hanoi in general and Thanh Xuan district in particular.
The project to renovate and expand Nguyen Tuan Street was approved by Thanh Xuan District People's Committee in 2018, with a total investment of about 400 billion VND.
By 2020, Thanh Xuan District People's Committee continued to approve the project's construction drawing design in Decision No. 1928/QD-UBND.
The project is 720m long, starting at the intersection with Nguyen Trai Street, ending at alley 162 Nguyen Tuan, with a cross-section expanded to 21m, including a 15m wide roadway and 3m wide sidewalks on both sides.
To implement the project, Thanh Xuan district will reclaim and clear 14,334 square meters of land, involving 11 organizations and 160 households and individuals.
Initially, Thanh Xuan district set a target to approve all compensation and site clearance plans by the end of 2022. By mid-2023, the project will be implemented and the road expansion will be completed after 1 year.
However, site clearance encountered many difficulties, causing the project to stall.
According to Lao Dong, Nguyen Tuan Street (from Nguyen Trai intersection to lane 162) has a narrow cross-section, with bottlenecks leading to constant traffic jams, greatly affecting people's travel.
In recent days, many residents living on Nguyen Tuan Street have proactively dismantled construction works, moved furniture, and handed over the site to local authorities to implement the project.
