Special Task Force Established to Support Land Clearance for Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway Project

​(News Portal – Dong Nai) - To address difficulties and obstacles and expedite the compensation and land clearance process for the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Ha has approved the assignment of the Provincial Land Fund Development Center to propose the formation of a special task force. This task force will provide targeted support for land clearance operations for the segment of the expressway passing through Phuoc Tan Ward in Bien Hoa City.

Vice Chairman Ho Van Ha works with the Bien Hoa City Party Committee on key projects. 

The Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway segment passing through Bien Hoa City spans 6.2 km, with approximately 3.4 km running through Phuoc Tan Ward. For project construction, authorities need to acquire nearly 38 hectares of land in Phuoc Tan Ward, of which more than 30 hectares are currently used by households and individuals.

Over 1,100 households in the project area in Phuoc Tan Ward will be affected by land clearance. Challenges encountered in the land clearance process include cases where land has been informally traded via handwritten agreements, resulting in unauthorized property development on others' land. Many affected residents are not eligible for resettlement arrangements and, after land acquisition, may face displacement without alternative housing or land within the ward.

Vice Chairman Ho Van Ha has tasked the Provincial Land Fund Development Center with proposing members for the special task force and preparing for its direct operations in Phuoc Tan Ward. The task force will support Bien Hoa City and the Provincial Land Fund Development Center in carrying out land clearance operations for the expressway segment in Phuoc Tan Ward.

Specific groups within the task force will be assigned to handle distinct responsibilities, such as clearing priority areas for construction and addressing land clearance at the junction of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway and Vo Nguyen Giap Road.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee will directly oversee the operations of the special task force. The objective is for the task force to assist Bien Hoa City and the Provincial Land Fund Development Center in completing the land clearance process for the expressway segment in Phuoc Tan Ward by March 2025.

In addition to these measures, Vice Chairman Ho Van Ha has also directed the Department of Construction to evaluate the capacity and performance of contractors involved in the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project within Bien Hoa City.​​
