HCMC – The Quang Tri government has sent a dispatch asking the relevant agencies and grassroots authorities to speed up the site clearance of the Van Ninh-Cam Lo expressway project and complete the land handover by June 30.

The sections of the expressway without resettlement problems must have their cleared land handed over prior to March 10, said the provincial government, the local media reported.

Vinh Linh, Gio Linh and Cam Lo districts, through which the expressway would pass, were told to encourage affected households to accept resettlement to expedite site clearance.

The competent agencies were urged to mobilize workers, complete all relevant procedures, select contractors and start work on resettlement areas to ensure the land handover is on schedule.

The Van Ninh-Cam Lo expressway has a total length of some 66 kilometers, with 32.5 kilometers passing through Vinh Linh, Gio Linh and Cam Lo districts. Work on the project started on January 1 this year. The project is expected to affect 477 households.
