Ho Chi Minh City: People simultaneously dismantle and give up land for the Nguyen Khoi bridge and road project.

In recent days, in Vinh Hoi ward (Ho Chi Minh City), people have simultaneously dismantled and handed over the site to serve the Nguyen Khoi bridge project across Te canal and Ben Nghe canal.

This is one of the key projects that helps connect District 7, District 4 with the old District 1, contributing to reducing traffic congestion in the southern area of ​​the city. The project is expected to start construction in November 2025 and be completed by the end of 2027.

People simultaneously dismantled and handed over the site to serve the Nguyen Khoi bridge and road project.

According to the reporter of Tin Tuc and Dan Toc Newspaper, immediately after being mobilized, many households in Vinh Hoi Ward voluntarily dismantled their houses and outbuildings, and coordinated with the local authorities to hand over the land on schedule. Some households, after handing over the affected area, repaired their houses to soon stabilize their lives.

Many houses have been handed over for the project.

People repaired the house after handing over the site deep inside.

The Nguyen Khoi Bridge and Road Project has a total investment of over VND3,700 billion, of which the cost of compensation, support, and resettlement is about VND1,392 billion for 147 affected cases, including 21 organizations and 126 households, with a total recovered area of ​​over 8,900 m2. The construction cost is about VND1,619 billion.

Site clearance work is being carried out quickly.

The existing Nguyen Khoi Street is narrow.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Hieu, a resident who has lived on Nguyen Khoi Street for more than 30 years, shared: “My house was moved back 7 meters and received compensation of 180 million VND/m2. When the State had a policy to build a bridge on Nguyen Khoi Street, my family and the locals all agreed, because they wanted the road to be wider, traffic to be more convenient, and business to be easier.”

Some workers are repairing Mr. Hieu's house.

Many houses have been demolished in front to hand over the site for the project.

The Nguyen Khoi bridge-road project has a total length of nearly 5 km, starting from Hoang Tung Mau street (old District 7), the main bridge over Te canal goes above Nguyen Khoi axis, continues over Ben Nghe canal and connects to Vo Van Kiet avenue (old District 1) through two branches N7 and N8.

The bridge section is 2.5km long, the road section is more than 2.3km long, combining the branches down to the old District 4 and the service road system. When completed, the project will open up an important traffic direction, contributing to reducing pressure on Kenh Te Bridge - one of the hot spots for traffic jams in recent years.

The Nguyen Khoi bridge project has a main bridge over the Te canal running on the Nguyen Khoi axis, crossing the Ben Nghe canal connecting to Vo Van Kiet avenue (old District 1) through two branches N7 and N8.

The Nguyen Khoi - Ton That Thuyet intersection has been handed over to the people.

Currently, the local government is still actively supporting people to relocate, arrange resettlement, resolve compensation regimes, ensure legitimate rights, and create high consensus in the community.

The fact that people simultaneously dismantled and gave up land shows the spirit of supporting the city's key infrastructure projects, joining hands to build a more modern, synchronous and civilized urban appearance for the South of Ho Chi Minh City.
