Handing over Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway site this year

Dong Nai will increase the number of staff to complete compensation and hand over the entire construction site of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway in 2023.

The information was given by Dong Nai Secretary Nguyen Hong Linh during a dialogue with nearly 3,000 households whose land had to be cleared in the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project on October 26.

The Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project, 54 km long, with a scale of 4-6 lanes, with a total investment of 17,800 billion VND, was started simultaneously in June. However, most of the 34 km through Dong Nai (289 hectares with 3,400 affected households) has not been cleared yet, while Ba Ria - Vung Tau has handed over nearly 96%.

Dong Nai Province People's Committee said the biggest difficulty facing the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway project passing through the locality is the lack of land. Although contractors have prepared human resources and machinery to implement the project, there is no land to construct.

According to Mr. Linh, the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project is very important in connecting regional traffic, developing the socio-economy of the province as well as the whole country. When the expressway is exploited, it will reduce the load on National Highway 51, connecting Long Thanh airport and Cai Mep - Thi Vai deep-water port.

Therefore, to speed up the site clearance progress, Mr. Linh requested the People's Committee of Dong Nai province to increase human resources, work on Saturdays and Sundays to soon complete the counting, measuring, and paying compensation to people affected by the project.

"By the end of this year, we must pay the people so that by early 2024 they can move to resettlement areas to settle down in their new lives," Mr. Linh said, directing the establishment of two offices to receive and answer people's questions related to the project.

Previously, people in Bien Hoa City and Long Thanh District raised 25 opinions related to compensation prices, cases of building houses on agricultural land, buying and selling hand-written documents... Many people also hope to be resettled in place and do not want to go far because they have lived there for a long time, their lives are stable, their children are going to school...

Mr. Nguyen Hong Que, Deputy Director of the Project Management Board for Compensation, Site Clearance and Resettlement Support of Dong Nai Province, said that when compensating, the locality will base on regulations to apply land prices in accordance with the motto of building the best price framework for the people.

According to Mr. Que, the specific land price is being investigated, determined by consulting units and submitted to the district and city People's Committees for consideration and appraisal before approval. During the land price appraisal process, the appraisal council will compare and contrast with projects with similar conditions to ensure that the approved land price is appropriate. After the land price is approved, it will be publicly posted for compensation.
