More than 80% of the construction workload at the An Tho resettlement area has been completed by the contractor consortium. Work on the remaining items is being accelerated, with contractors making full use of favorable weather conditions to keep construction on schedule.
The contractors aim to complete the entire resettlement area in July, four months ahead of the contractual schedule.
To support site clearance for the railway project, the city has directed relevant agencies and units to expedite construction of 14 resettlement projects across nine resettlement areas, covering a total of about 60 hectares.
The projects are expected to cost about 1.237 trillion dong and provide resettlement housing for 1,749 households.
As part of its responsibilities in implementing the Lao Cai-Hanoi-Hai Phong railway project, the Hai Phong People's Council, at its 23rd session for the 2021-2026 term, approved a contribution of 10.96 trillion dong from the city budget for site clearance work and the construction of the Nam Hai Phong-Nam Do Son branch line.
Under the plan, all resettlement projects are scheduled for completion this year.
