What the record shows

  • Reported
    10 Jul 2026
    A national key transport project. The Prime Minister ordered construction to start on 1 February 2025 and required early completion. Land recovery covers more than 327.2 ha and affects 1,613 households, individuals and organisations, with VND 8,283.2 billion budgeted for clearance.
  • Reported
    10 Jul 2026
    HCMC reported that some cases still lacked an approved compensation plan, had not taken compensation or had not handed over land, which it called a risk to the schedule, and made clearance an urgent task for Q3 2026. The report gives no completion date.
