Ho Chi Minh City Races to Clear Land for 60-Meter Highway Expansion

Ho Chi Minh City is pushing forward with the expansion of National Highway 13, a vital artery connecting the metropolis to the southeastern region. The project is nearing its groundbreaking, with a target date of September 2nd, Vietnam's National Day.

Progress on clearing the land is significant, with over 80% of the required 39.54 hectares already secured as of August 18th. Residents whose properties fall within the project's path have been compensated and are actively dismantling their homes. Many are already constructing new residences further back from the road, creating a noticeable transformation along the highway.

This rapid land acquisition is crucial for the project, which aims to widen the existing 19-27 meter road to a 60-meter, 10-14 lane highway. National Highway 13 is notorious for its frequent traffic jams, especially during peak hours. The expansion is expected to alleviate this congestion and improve connectivity.

While most residents have complied, some cases are still pending due to differing legal and personal circumstances. Local authorities are actively engaging in dialogue to resolve these remaining issues, aiming for full completion of land acquisition by September. The project, with an investment of nearly 21 trillion Vietnamese Dong, is a major infrastructure undertaking for the region.
