According to the reporter's records at the intersection No. 1 (Mau Than - 3 Thang 2 - Tran Hung Dao), in Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city, the units have currently implemented barriers, gradually constructing the intersection. This is a project that people have been looking forward to for many years.
Intersection No. 1 has long become a traffic jam, causing local congestion during rush hours, especially frequent flooding on days of heavy rain or high tides. This situation not only makes it difficult for people and vehicles to move, but also affects the socio-economic development of the city.
Mr. Tran Cong (Ninh Kieu District) said that this intersection location has a large volume of traffic but limited area, easily causing conflicts and collisions. Every time he passes through the intersection during rush hour or high tide, he feels very bored. The authorities are always present to direct traffic and support the people.
According to the People's Committee of Ninh Kieu District (investor), the construction package for the intersection No. 1 (Mau Than - 3 Thang 2 - Tran Hung Dao) was just started on March 12, with a construction period of 360 days, expected to be completed in March 2026. The construction unit is Nam Long Joint Venture.
This is one of two priority intersections implemented under the Investment Project for the renovation and expansion of 5 key intersections in the area, with a total investment of more than 1,196 billion VND. It is expected that intersection No. 4 (3/2 - Nguyen Van Linh) will also start construction at the end of March.
Mr. Thai Phong - a resident living near the intersection No. 1, Ninh Kieu District - excitedly said: "I am very happy that this intersection has started construction. I believe that after completion, the traffic jam situation will be significantly improved and our people can move more conveniently".
Many people also expressed their joy because key intersections have been invested in renovating and expanding, helping to ensure traffic safety, while creating favorable conditions for businesses and customers near the area.
Ninh Kieu District has been allocated 300 billion VND to implement the project and is focusing on site clearance. For intersection No. 1, more than 1/3 of households have handed over the land. Intersection No. 4 has been handed over by more than 50% of households. The remaining intersections (numbers 2, 3 and 5) will be implemented next.
According to the leader of the Ninh Kieu District Project Management and Land Fund Development Board, the intersection No. 1 has an estimated compensation cost of about VND 578 billion, affecting about 122 households with more than 480 people. The total area of recovered land is about 5,960m2.
The investment project to build, renovate and expand 5 key intersections in Ninh Kieu district was approved by the People's Committee of Can Tho City in November 2023, with a total investment of more than 1,196 billion VND.
The 5 renovated intersections include: intersection No. 1 (Mau Than - 3 February - Tran Hung Dao); intersection No. 2 (Mau Than - Nguyen Van Cu - Vo Van Kiet); intersection No. 3 (Nguyen Van Linh - Nguyen Van Cu); intersection No. 4 (Nguyen Van Linh - 3 February) and intersection No. 5 (Nguyen Van Linh - 30/4).
