He urged the local authorities to continue to uphold the spirit of responsibility and closely follow the directives of the Government and resolutions of the National Assembly to ensure the progress and quality of the project's construction, avoiding any mistakes.
In the immediate future, Thuong noted that the focus should continue to be on effectively carrying out land clearance work while strictly adhering to legal regulations on compensation, support, resettlement, and safeguarding people's legitimate rights and interests.
The investment project for the construction of the Ring Road 4 – Ha Noi Capital Region (Ha Noi, Bac Ninh, and Hung Yen) was approved by the National Assembly in Resolution No. 56/2022/QH15, and the Government issued Resolution No. 106/NQ-CP for its implementation.
With a total investment of VND85.8 trillion (US$3.5 billion), the project is divided into seven independent component projects, including three projects for compensation and resettlement in each province and city using public investment funds; three projects for the construction of service roads in each province and city using public investment funds; and one component project for the construction of a high-speed road system through a public-private partnership (PPP).
Recognized as a nationally important project, it has received close attention and precise guidance from the central government and the involvement of ministries, sectors, localities, and the entire political system.
So far, three provinces and cities of Ha Noi, Hung Yen, and Bac Ninh achieved organizational stability and full mobilization of 100 percent of human resources and machinery for simultaneous construction along the road route.
As of now, all three have approved land clearance plans for 1,312.05/1,390.49 hectares, achieving 94.36 percent, and relocated 15,760/16,377 graves, reaching 96.23 percent.
Specifically, Ha Noi cleared 768.99/791.21 hectares of land, gaining 97.19 percent, and relocated 9,973/10,232 graves, reaching 97.47 percent. The city has also constructed 13 resettlement areas covering 32.5 hectares, with five areas completed and eight others under construction. In Soc Son and Thuong Tin districts, 140 eligible households were selected through a resettlement lottery.
On this occasion, State President Vo Van Thuong and Secretary of the Ha Noi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung presented gifts and lucky money and extended Tet greetings to encourage the officials and workers performing their duties at the construction site of the Ring Road 4 at the construction site in Nhi Khe Commune, Thuong Tin District.
The State President expressed his confidence in the pride of participating in implementing this important infrastructure project for the Capital Region, along with the determination, dedication, and aspirations of the officials, workers, and laborers of the units and contractors involved.
He believed they would accomplish all the tasks excellently assigned to them and contribute significantly to the project's on-time delivery, quality assurance, and effectiveness, thus giving new impetus to the country's development./.
