The above important contents are part of the conclusion of Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc and the working delegation on the field trip to the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway and Ring Road 3 project on October 1. The delegation also included Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Bui Minh Thanh and representatives of departments, branches and localities.

After the meeting, Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc acknowledged the efforts of the units in implementing the project, and emphasized that these are two vital traffic axes that are important in expanding the development space for Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring areas. However, the progress is still slow, the disbursement rate is low compared to the plan.

The main reason is that some localities and units still lack determination, initiative and flexibility in handling work.

Besides, coordination is not yet synchronized, there are still problems with compensation, resettlement and prolonged administrative procedures.

"Units need to focus, mobilize all resources, and proactively carry out assigned tasks to make up for slow progress" - Mr. Duoc's conclusion.

For the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai expressway project, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned localities to promptly establish and perfect the commune-level Steering Committee, regularly review the progress of compensation, support, resettlement, and remove difficulties and obstacles.

The commune-level steering committee will have an additional mobilization and propaganda team consisting of local people, people who are knowledgeable about the area, have experience in compensation, persuade people to agree with the policy and promptly hand over the site to the investor. The deadline for completing mobilization and handing over the site is set before October 22, 2025.

Localities need to be proactive and flexible in compensation payments, ensuring compliance with regulations, and absolutely not allowing loss or negativity to occur.

Communes must complete the appraisal and approval of compensation, support and resettlement plans no later than October 2025, and make payments to all affected households by December 2025.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport is assigned to preside over and work with relevant departments and branches to complete procedures, design construction, select investors and contractors according to regulations, and ensure the construction progress is on schedule.

Specifically, component project 1 will start construction in the first quarter of 2026, component project 2 will start construction of Provincial Road 8 overpass in November 2025 and the remaining items before December 19, 2025.

The Department of Finance was assigned to preside over and coordinate with the City People's Committee's advisory agencies to report to the City Party Committee Standing Committee on supporting compensation and resettlement capital for Tay Ninh province (where the expressway passes through).

At the same time, localities must strengthen management and prevent "land brokers", "compensation brokers", and "document brokers" from taking advantage of project implementation to profit and cause disorder.
