Da Nang : Removing obstacles in traffic projects worth over 1,848 billion VND

The project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 14E, which is over 71 km long and has an investment capital of VND1,848 billion from the State budget, is behind schedule due to land clearance problems. Many households have complained about the slow resettlement arrangement and the lack of relocation of electricity and water infrastructure, affecting their daily lives. Project Management Board 4 said the main reason is that the compensation payment point has not been clearly identified, leading to discontinuous land handover, with many sections only being able to construct longitudinal ditches.

Land acquisition problems are the main reason why the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 14E is slow to implement.

The unit has proposed that the People's Committee of Da Nang City promptly assign the investor of the GPMB sub-project and accelerate compensation and resettlement support. The local government is committed to completing GPMB before August 25, 2025, considering this a key project to promote socio -economic development, with a priority policy of maximum support for the people.
