Tay Ninh Studies Route Change to Avoid Land Tied to Truong My Lan Enforcement Case

A planned road in Tay Ninh may have to move because its route crosses land caught up in the civil enforcement proceedings linked to Truong My Lan.

The Long An-Tan Ninh connector received investment approval from the Tay Ninh provincial People's Council at a cost of 20.746 trillion dong. Its main route is expected to run about 74.317 kilometers. The province has allowed a consortium led by Vinhomes, together with Nam An Investment and Trading, Long Son Trade and Development Investment, and Future Research Investment and Development, to prepare a proposal under a public-private partnership using a build-transfer contract.

During a review of the route centerline and land-clearance boundaries, Binh Duc commune found that the alignment between kilometer 16+350 and kilometer 16+620 would affect the Thanh Duc Garden Residential Area. The disputed stretch covers about 275 meters and roughly 1.68 hectares in land parcel 1236 on map sheet 4.

The land is being handled by the Tay Ninh Civil Judgment Enforcement Department under a seizure order issued by the Ministry of Public Security's investigative police agency in October 2023. The provincial transport construction project management board has therefore asked the investor to lead a study of localized route adjustments between kilometer 16+352 and kilometer 16+620.

The Thanh Duc project is a resettlement project associated with the Khang Thong entertainment complex, commonly known as Happyland. Tay Ninh authorities are enforcing 39 court judgments and decisions, corresponding to 53 enforcement decisions, involving Phu An Infrastructure Construction and Development and other companies and individuals connected to the Khang Thong system. The province is also studying localized alignment changes through the residential area, while eight communes and wards crossed by the project have completed agreements on route documents and land-clearance boundaries.
