Hanoi Chairman tightens site clearance progress for project worth over 3,377 billion VND

On the morning of April 19, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Vu Dai Thang and the city's working delegation directly inspected the progress of the Project to invest in building, upgrading and expanding Road 70 and the Project to renovate, upgrade and expand National Highway 21B.

Site clearance in Q2/2026

The project to invest in building, upgrading and expanding road 70 (section from Trinh Van Bo to the end of the old Nam Tu Liem district) passing through Xuan Phuong ward, Tay Mo ward and Son Dong commune, invested by Tay Mo ward People's Committee. The project has a total investment of more than 3,377 billion VND.

Regarding site clearance work, in Xuan Phuong ward, land recovery notices have been issued for 338/510 households (reaching 66.3%), striving to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026. In Tay Mo ward, for 59 agricultural land households (13,338.7m2), households have received money and handed over land, the locality sets a target to complete site clearance in the fourth quarter of 2026.

For Son Dong commune, the biggest difficulty currently is not being approved for resettlement locations for households whose land is recovered. Son Dong Commune People's Committee has issued a document proposing the City People's Committee to consider and resolve. The plan to complete site clearance is also set by the locality in the fourth quarter of 2026.

At the inspection, Chairman of the City People's Committee Vu Dai Thang emphasized the requirement to accelerate the progress of site clearance, considering this as a key stage determining the progress of the entire project. Mr. Vu Dai Thang said that the mechanisms and policies serving compensation, support, and resettlement are basically complete. If there are still obstacles, departments and branches are responsible for coordinating to remove them immediately; localities are allowed to flexibly apply the policies issued by the city.

There is no reason to prolong the progress. If site clearance is delayed, it will directly affect public investment disbursement and socio-economic development efficiency" - Chairman of the City People's Committee emphasized.

Chairman of the City People's Committee Vu Dai Thang requested 3 localities Tay Mo, Xuan Phuong, Son Dong to focus highly, mobilize the entire political system to participate, and completely complete site clearance work in the second quarter of 2026, instead of extending it to the end of 2026. For resettlement locations that are still problematic, assign relevant departments and branches of the city to urgently review and complete procedures, and soon arrange to serve the project.

The highest goal is to ensure the best rights for the people.

The project to upgrade and expand National Highway 21B section from the beginning of provincial road 427 to Kim Bai town (investor: Thanh Oai Commune People's Committee) has a total investment of about 345.5 billion VND, implementation time is 2021-2026. Currently, the construction volume has reached about 82%, but some sections of about 520m long have not been completed due to site clearance.

The project to upgrade and expand National Highway 21B section from Kim Bai town to the Vác intersection (investor: Dan Hoa Commune People's Committee) has a total investment of about 386.2 billion VND, implemented in the period 2021-2026. To date, the project has basically completed the items of foundation, road surface, drainage, green trees, and lighting on the handed-over site; the total construction volume has reached about 95%. However, site clearance work still faces many difficulties.

At the National Highway 21B upgrade and expansion project, the section from Thach Bich bridge to the intersection of provincial road 427 and the section from Vac intersection to the end of the old Thanh Oai district (now belonging to Binh Minh, Dan Hoa communes; investor Binh Minh Commune People's Committee) has a total investment of about 382.3 billion VND, implemented in the 2021-2026 period. Construction items on the handed-over site have been basically completed. However, site clearance is still slow, which is the main reason why the project has not ensured the schedule according to the plan.

At the inspection, Chairman of the City People's Committee Vu Dai Thang requested relevant units to fully apply current mechanisms and policies in the project implementation process, with the highest goal of ensuring the best interests of the people. Along with that, localities need to strengthen mobilization work, create consensus for people to accompany in the process of renovating and upgrading the road.

Regarding progress, city leaders requested units to focus highly on completing site clearance work in June 2026. After that, construction and installation items must be deployed quickly. Although underground construction may encounter many difficulties due to complex excavation and embankment, the city still encourages putting it into implementation immediately in this phase to ensure long-term efficiency.
