Ho Chi Minh City ward rewards residents for early land handover in bridge project

Leaders from Binh Tien ward in Ho Chi Minh City have personally visited residents who promptly handed over their land for the crucial Binh Tien bridge and road project, expressing gratitude and offering rewards.

Three delegations, led by various ward officials including the Chairman of the People's Council and the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, visited households that had completed the full handover of their properties within the project's footprint. These residents were rewarded with 50 million Vietnamese dong per household as a token of appreciation for their cooperation.

This initiative aims to acknowledge and commend the citizens' spirit of consensus and their contribution to the city's development. The ward authorities emphasized that these visits are not just about recognizing early land surrender but also about valuing the residents' understanding and support for the key infrastructure project. This positive engagement is seen as vital for accelerating the project's progress and ensuring it stays on schedule.

The Binh Tien bridge and road project is a significant transportation undertaking for Ho Chi Minh City, with an estimated investment of nearly 6.3 trillion Vietnamese dong. The planned route spans approximately 3.2 kilometers and is designed to create a new connection to the southern areas of the city. Construction is slated to occur between 2026 and 2028. As of August 23, 42 cases in Binh Tien ward had completed land handover for the project, which impacts a total of 441 cases requiring compensation and relocation.
