It is expected that by July 2024, the People's Committee of Cao Bang province will complete 100% of site clearance work in this locality.
For the scope in Lang Son province, the volume of land handed over to the new construction unit has reached 5.45/51.8 km, equivalent to 10.5%.

A representative of Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway Joint Stock Company said that despite receiving attention and direction from the Prime Minister and leaders of the two provinces, the volume of earth filling materials for the entire project is currently lacking about 4 million m3. In addition to adding 4 new earth quarries, the project enterprise has carried out construction of leveling and leveling the areas around the project. Currently, the project enterprise is coordinating with relevant parties to carry out procedures with the provincial authorities to complete the licensing of exploitation to exploit the earth quarries according to the special mechanism.
To speed up the construction progress, the Project's construction units mobilized 467 personnel, 199 machines and equipment, deployed 19 construction teams to simultaneously approach and organize construction according to the handed-over site segments.

According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Tuan - Deputy General Director of Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway Joint Stock Company, although the construction of tunnel No. 2 has been opened, the site for the waste dump and the functional area of the concrete mortar mixing station has not been handed over. He proposed that the People's Committee of Cao Bang province speed up site clearance and agree to supplement the waste dumps arising during the construction process.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Tuan hopes that Cao Bang Provincial People's Committee will continue to work with Lang Son Provincial People's Committee and the Government to supplement enough land use quotas for the project in the fourth quarter of 2024; approve the addition of 4 soil material mines as proposed by Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway Joint Stock Company; at the same time, approve the plan to renovate and utilize surplus land in accordance with regulations to meet the source of construction soil materials.
Previously, on June 11, 2024, the Steering Committee of the Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway Project held a meeting to evaluate the project implementation results and continue to promote the implementation of key tasks.
Mr. Tran Hong Minh, Secretary of Cao Bang Provincial Party Committee, requested the People's Committees of districts where the project passes through to urgently approve plans and estimates for compensation for land acquisition and clearance for local people, and strive to hand over 100% of the site to Dong Dang - Tra Linh Expressway Joint Stock Company for construction on schedule.
“The People’s Committees of the districts, within their authority, need to quickly implement procedures for exploiting minerals for common construction materials for the project after the Government issues Resolution No. 106/2003/QH15. Actively work with Lang Son province to adjust the route, clear the land, and change the purpose of forest use for the project,” Secretary Tran Hong Minh directed.
