Hanoi is reclaiming land, starting to expand arterial roads in June
Hanoi - The main road of more than 3km is expected to start construction in June 2025, after many years of land clearance problems.
The project to upgrade and expand Linh Nam road (Hoang Mai district) was approved by the Hanoi People's Committee in 2013, with a length of more than 3km, starting at Tam Trinh intersection and ending at Nguyen Khoi dike intersection.
By August 2024, the Hanoi People's Committee had approved an adjustment to the implementation time of the project to upgrade and expand Linh Nam road according to the plan, to be completed in 2027.
The reason for the adjustment is due to difficulties and obstacles in site clearance (GPMB), leading to the project not ensuring progress.
According to the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District, to implement the project, over 98,000m2 of land will have to be reclaimed, involving 829 households and 19 organizations in 4 wards: Mai Dong, Vinh Hung, Linh Nam, Tran Phu.
Hoang Mai District assessed that the volume of land acquisition was not too large, but the difficulty was due to incomplete and difficult to verify records and documents related to land origin and constructions on people's land.
In many cases, the person whose name is on the land use right certificate does not live in the area, has even died, and his children and grandchildren live abroad, making it difficult to contact and appoint the owner.
Currently, the city has approved land prices, but the State's compensation, support and resettlement policies have changed, so the progress is being delayed.
Previously, the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District divided 4 time frames for site clearance implementation, first of all, carrying out project information work to people related to site clearance before October 5, 2024; completing the payment of compensation and support to individuals and organizations before Tet (29.1.2025); completing site clearance in the first quarter of 2025 and starting the project in June 2025.
Up to now, the site clearance work is moving towards the third milestone and is currently about 1 month behind schedule.
Of the 4 wards that the project's route passes through, the most difficult part of the project is site clearance in Vinh Hung ward, the large area of land acquisition (over 26,000m2), involving about 325 households (including 337 plots) and 3 organizations, the origin of land and assets on the land is difficult to verify, due to the backlog of land management in the past.
Up to now, Vinh Hung ward has issued a proposal document and Hoang Mai District People's Committee has issued 200 notices of land reclamation; is verifying the records of 135 plots, of which 21 plots have not yet come to the ward to provide documents.
Party Secretary, Head of the Steering Committee for Compensation, Support and Resettlement of Vinh Hung Ward Nguyen Phuong Quynh said that for the remaining 21 households, the People's Committee assigned each cadre to continue reviewing, verifying information and organizing meetings for each case, striving to complete before May 15.
To speed up site clearance, the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District has proposed to the People's Committee of Hanoi a compensation, compensation and resettlement policy in the direction of creating the most favorable conditions for people, striving to start the project in June 2025.
