During the survey, the Secretary of the City Party Committee visited the field of the XL-03 package (from Luong Ngoc Quyen Street to Vam Thuat River), located in An Nhon Ward (formerly Go Vap District) and Binh Loi Trung Ward (formerly Binh Thanh District).
The XL-03 package started construction in May 2025, and has only reached about 6% of the volume, expected to reach 30% by the end of the year.
According to the plan, the section through An Nhon ward will be completed before April 30, 2026, while the section through Binh Loi Trung ward will be completed before September 2, 2026; the entire package will be completed by November 2026.
However, there are still 29/138 households in An Nhon ward and 20 cases in Binh Hoa residential area (Binh Loi Trung ward) that have not yet handed over the site.
Meanwhile, two major packages, XL-01 (from Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal to Bui Dinh Tuy bridge, including Cau Son canal) and XL-02 (from Bui Dinh Tuy bridge to Luong Ngoc Quyen street, including Binh Loi and Binh Trieu canals) are expected to start construction in November 2025 but are currently facing many difficulties in compensation and site clearance.
These two packages concern the land acquisition of a total of 2,078 households, including 314 households in Binh Loi Trung ward, 872 households in Gia Dinh ward and 892 households in Binh Thanh ward.
However, the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project Management Board said that the site has not yet been handed over by the localities.
Xuyen Tam Canal is nearly 9 km long, connecting from Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal to Vam Thuat river, passing through An Nhon (old Go Vap), Gia Dinh, Binh Thanh and Binh Loi Trung wards (old Binh Thanh). Of which, the main route is 6.7 km long, with three additional branches with a total length of 2.2 km.
The renovation project has a total investment of more than VND17,000 billion, of which compensation, support and resettlement costs account for about VND14,000 billion, reclaiming land from more than 2,230 households and organizations.
The Xuyen Tam canal renovation project includes the following items: dredging the canal bed to a depth of 3.5 m, widening the canal bed from 20 - 30 m, building a synchronous wastewater and rainwater collection system.
On both sides of the canal, a 6 m wide traffic road will be built (each side has two lanes), sidewalks 3 - 4 m wide with a system of parks and trees.
The entire project is expected to be completed in 2028, not only improving the environment, forming a drainage system, canals and parks, but also opening up public space, contributing to changing the appearance of the inner city of Ho Chi Minh City.
After the inspection, Secretary of the City Party Committee Tran Luu Quang and the working delegation worked with the Standing Committee of the Binh Thanh Ward Party Committee on the operation of the 2-level local government model; disbursement of public investment capital; compensation and site clearance for the Xuyen Tam canal project, as well as many other important contents to remove difficulties and speed up the progress of the project.
