Some provinces have failed to meet the Prime Minister’s deadline for site clearance for the eastern part of the North – South Highway. Some provinces have failed to meet the Prime Minister’s deadline for site clearance for the eastern part of the North – South Highway. Six out of 11 sections of the eastern part of North-South Highway for the period of 2017-2020, which were converted to public investment, have started. Two other sections that are also invested by the State are expected to start in May. According to the Ministry of Transport, site clearance has been far from expectations. The Prime Minister requested that it be generally accomplished in 2020. Nevertheless, by mid-Feb 2021, all 11 sections were struggling with site clearance. As many as 624 out of 652 kilometers of the Highway, 95.6%, have been handed over. The site handover in Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Khanh Hoa provinces is much lower, 79.2%, 94.9%, 92%, and 91.5% respectively. Around 80% of 11 resettlement areas are complete. Technical infrastructure has been slowly carried out. Only 30 – 38% of power, water, and telecommunication networks have been relocated. The Transport Ministry planned to discuss directly with each province solutions for the required completion of site clearance. Only 55.64 out of 63.37 kilometers of the Mai Son – NH45 expressway have been cleared and handed over to contractors. The section runs through three districts of Ninh Binh and eight of Thanh Hoa province. More than 8 out of 14.41km in Ninh Binh were handed over. The figure in Thanh Hoa was 47.46 out of 48.96km. The main cause for delayed clearance in Ninh Binh is that Tam Diep district has failed to finalize the compensation price for different land types, identify persons qualified for job adjustment incentive scheme, and allocate resettlement area to a number of households. Thanh Hoa has been facing difficulties in site clearance. It has the longest section of the Eastern part of …
