Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Dinh Van Hai, Director of the Thanh Xuan District Construction Investment Project Management Board (Hanoi), said that the Thanh Xuan District People's Committee is preparing to organize the forced land recovery of households who do not agree to hand over the land for the project to upgrade and expand Nguyen Tuan Street.
According to Mr. Hai, to implement the project, Thanh Xuan district will reclaim 14,334 square meters of land, involving 11 organizations and 160 households and individuals.
As of October 12 and November 11, 129/160 households have handed over their land to the project. The remaining 31 households have not yet agreed.
Today (October 13), if households do not cooperate in handing over the land, Thanh Xuan district will proceed with forced land recovery according to the issued plan.
It is expected that the authorities will forcibly recover land from 11 households on October 14 and the remaining 20 cases on October 15.
After completing land acquisition, Thanh Xuan District People's Committee will hand over the site to the contractor to carry out the construction of expanding Nguyen Tuan Street after many years of delay.
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 2 3m wide sidewalks.
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 has encountered many difficulties, making it impossible to expand the project.
Nguyen Tuan Street (from Nguyen Trai intersection to alley 162) has a narrow cross-section, a bottleneck exists, leading to constant traffic congestion, greatly affecting people's travel.
