Hanoi intersection project resumes after years of land dispute delays

A critical intersection project in Hanoi, connecting Pham Tu Street with Road 70, is poised for renewed construction after years of delays due to land acquisition problems. The project, with a total investment of nearly 786 billion Vietnamese dong, had been stalled since 2018.

The road project, part of a larger initiative to build a ring road around the Chu Van An monument area, has seen most of its components completed and operational since its commencement. However, the final intersection component remained unfinished, causing persistent traffic congestion in the area. The recent breakthrough in resolving land clearance issues across three affected wards marks a significant step forward.

Local residents, like Huy Dung from Kien Hung ward, have experienced firsthand the difficulties of navigating the area due to traffic conflicts at the incomplete intersection. He expressed relief and anticipation for the project's swift completion, hoping contractors will mobilize resources to finish the vital transport link.

Land acquisition has been fully completed in Kien Hung ward, involving 13 households and three organizations. Similarly, Ha Dong ward has successfully acquired land from all 59 households, finishing ahead of schedule. Thanh Liet ward also completed its land compensation and acquisition processes earlier. City authorities have directed the investor and contractors to expedite construction now that clear land is available, emphasizing the need to address technical infrastructure, including high-voltage power lines.
