This afternoon (September 27), the Department of Construction of Dong Nai province said that it had sent a document to relevant authorities requesting to temporarily suspend construction of the riverside road project, the section passing through the 100-year-old villa of Mr. Vo Ha Thanh.
Specifically, the Department requested the Project Management Board and Bien Hoa City People's Committee to direct relevant units to temporarily suspend construction on the section passing through the ancient villa area, while maintaining the current status and fencing in this area.
The Department of Construction also proposed four options to retain this project.
According to the first option, the ancient villa will be moved back inside. The State will fund the hiring of professional units to carry out the work. However, with this option, the land behind the ancient villa will only be 6m deep.
Therefore, it is necessary to carry out compensation and land clearance for households behind, which will take a long time, along with planning adjustments and additional land acquisition.
Option 2 is to straighten the riverside road to preserve the ancient villa. According to the Department of Construction, the riverside road has currently encroached on the villa by about 12.7m and the distance from the river embankment to the sidewalk is 14.7m. However, with the remaining distance from the edge of the embankment to the edge of the villa's porch, it is entirely possible to adjust the route to avoid affecting this historical structure while still ensuring the 24m wide roadway as originally planned.
With the 650m unfinished road, the alignment will be done smoothly, avoiding sharp turns or roads that are too narrow. Specifically, this plan will reduce the width of the sidewalks on both sides from 5m to 4m. The area obtained will create a safe distance between the villa and the road, and the remaining land will be planned into a park and parking lot.
Option 3 proposes creating a roundabout square surrounding the ancient villa, turning it into a ceramic museum (on condition that the State requisitions the entire ancient villa and renovates it into a museum).
To implement this plan, the riverside route will be divided into two branches, creating an open space for the museum. One branch will face the Dong Nai River, the other will embrace the ancient villa. After that, these two branches will merge, continuing along the approved route.
With this design, each branch road will have a right of way of about 17m and the branch road will be about 220m long. The 16m wide strip of land along the river bank will be reserved for building a green park, adding more green space to the square area.
However, implementing this option would require the acquisition of an additional 3,000 square meters of land and require adjustments to the route design.
Option 4, build a riverside road at a different elevation than the surrounding area, creating a small island with a park and ceramic museum surrounding the ancient villas. This road will be about 600-700m long, 24m wide, and high enough for boats to pass.
However, this option will require additional land acquisition and cost about VND200 billion to build overpasses and other works.
Among the proposed options, the Department proposed that the Provincial People's Committee consider and select option 2. This option is considered the most optimal, both meeting the goal of preserving cultural heritage by keeping the location of the ancient villa intact, and not significantly affecting the overall progress of the Dong Nai riverside road project.
