In a quick report to the delegation at the scene, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project Management Board Nguyen Hoang Anh Dung said that the project is currently facing many difficulties related to the construction site, greatly affecting the progress of implementation along the entire route.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh Dung, the project is divided into 3 construction packages (XL-01, XL-02, XL-03). Currently, the site clearance compensation work has not been completed in many areas.

Specifically, with the XL-03 package (An Nhon ward), the site is still "leopard skin", lacking connectivity throughout the route. In particular, Van Lang University has not yet approved the investor to start construction, causing disruptions to the plan. In Binh Loi Trung ward, there are still 20 households under the project of Tan Thuan Company that have not been compensated, directly affecting the construction progress. For the XL-01 and XL-02 packages, the site has not been handed over, leading to the inability to implement any construction items.

The Management Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project requested the Compensation and Site Clearance Board of An Nhon Ward to urgently hand over the entire site of the XL-03 package this August to implement the construction items. The Department of Agriculture and Environment and the People's Committee of An Nhon Ward must completely resolve the request of Van Lang University, ensuring the site is handed over to the investor before August 10.

At the survey, Vice Chairman Bui Xuan Cuong emphasized that the Xuyen Tam Canal Improvement Project is an urgent project and has great significance in improving the environment, traffic, and urban landscape, so removing bottlenecks in land clearance requires the synchronous participation of departments, branches, and localities.
