Deputy PM sets deadlines for north-south expressway project
Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung has set the deadline for 654 kilometres of the north-south expressway by 2020.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung emphasised that the project must meet deadlines which are to be completed in 2020 and opened to traffic in 2021. That means many constructions must be started quickly this year. "Ground clearance, compensation and resettlement works must be done well so that the project's progress will not be affected," he said.
The Ministry of Transport was asked to inspect and direct the investors and management boards over ground clearance and to prepare required documents to ensure the project's schedule. They will also work with locality authorities to publicise information about the ground clearance plans.
"The locality authorities should show public the importance of the project and how it will improve our socio-economic development. This expressway will benefit the government, investors and public alike," he said.
Over 4,800 hectares of land must be cleared, 3,763 households and many private, public establishments will be relocated for the project. Local authorities were urged to deal with resettlement and compensation issues quickly.
