The delegation also includes Deputy Minister of Transport Le Dinh Tho, along with Binh Thuan’s vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Luong Van Hai and representative leader of department of Transport.
The 47 km-section, which belongs to the North-South Expressway project approved by National Asembly, is designed as a four-lane expressway and a width of 25 meters. To implement this project, there are 541 affected households with 287 hectares of reclaimed land area. In which, 28 households must relocate in centralized resettlement sites with a total compensation cost of over VND 218 billion.
According to the provincial People’s Committee of Binh Thuan, after the project was ratified, local government have directed departments, agencies and functional bodies to focus on site clearance and compensation. As of now, the province has fulfiled all procedures related to land acquisition, property inventory, land origins consideration. The compensation, assistance and resettlement plan for people affected by the project has been approved.
The current section of National highway 1A from Phan Thiet to Dong Nai is too narrow with no median strip. This is the last section of key route to Ho Chi Minh city, so a large number of vehicles uses daily, leading to regular traffic gridlocks, especially when road crashes occur. For that reason, the investment and construction of DPEP is considered as an essential task to meet the increasing demand for safe and fast travelling from and to Binh Thuan, contributing to attracting more investment and catalysing economic development of Binh Thuan and the region.
