According to the reporter of Giao thong Newspaper, in the field of transport investment alone, many projects have encountered difficulties due to site clearance, land use planning... Notably, the Eastern economic corridor project (National Highway 19 bypass), Gia Lai province has encountered difficulties in land use planning.
For the section adjusting the route due to adjusting the connection point with Ho Chi Minh road (at Km 1588+200 in Nghia Hung commune, Chu Pah district), it is currently not consistent with the approved Land Use Plan until 2030 of Chu Pah district, the district's Land Use Plan must be adjusted, which will slow down the project's site clearance progress.
In addition, the Eastern Economic Corridor Road Project of Pleiku City, the project started in December 2022. However, to date, only about 6/15km of the site has been handed over. The site clearance work is slow, the total compensation cost for site clearance of Pleiku City and Dak Doa District is expected to exceed the approved compensation value.
In particular, the Nguyen Van Linh road project (section from Truong Chinh - Le Thanh Ton), Pleiku City, although it has been deployed since November 2022, to date the project has no land to start construction. The entire project has only been handed over to the construction unit for 276m.

In an interview with reporters, the leader of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Gia Lai province said that in order to meet the source of earth filling materials for the projects, the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment have recently considered solutions such as utilizing surplus land at ongoing project sites, land for suitable mixed garden renovation to remove obstacles in the source of earth filling for projects using budget capital. However, the demand for earth filling for the projects is still not enough, and the implementation procedures are very slow.
