The People’s Committee of Quảng Trị Province has issued a directive urging localities and related agencies to urgently complete land clearance for projects funded by the Department of Finance, aiming to prevent delays and avoid waste of public investment capital.
For Component 2 – Nhật Lệ 3 Bridge and the two-ended road project under the Coastal Road and Nhật Lệ Bridge project, the contractor had completed about 95% of the work by the end of 2025. Construction was then suspended because the remaining land clearances had not been handed over, due to unresolved obstacles at the site.
The directive notes that accelerating land clearance is an urgent task, as multiple projects are facing bottlenecks that could directly affect construction progress and completion timelines approved for the projects.
For Component 2 – Nhật Lệ 3 Bridge and the two-ended road and technical infrastructure subproject in the resettlement area at Bao Ninh commune, the People’s Committee of Quảng Trị Province requires related agencies to resolve outstanding issues by April 2026.
For the Quảng Trị province sub-project under the Basic Infrastructure Development program, the People’s Committee requires relevant agencies to concentrate maximum resources and avoid delays. It also calls for strict enforcement of conclusions from inspection related to compensation and resettlement.
For the road connection from the bypass of National Highway 1A to the eastern branch of Ho Chi Minh Highway, the investor is required to coordinate with related units to complete resettlement for households by 15 May 2026.
For the project road from Loc Ninh commune to the Northwest Dong Hoi Industrial Park, units are required to review and adjust land prices to reflect actual conditions, providing a basis for outreach and obtaining public consent.
The People’s Committee of Quảng Trị Province requires the presidents of the respective communes and related units to take responsibility if land clearance delays cause project progress to be affected and result in waste of public investment funds. Units must report results by 30 April 2026.
