The Hanoi Transport Infrastructure Investment and Construction Management Board (Transportation Department – Investor) shared that the Ring Road 4 project, spanning 52.7 km across various districts, including Soc Son, Me Linh, Dan Phuong, Hoai Duc, Thanh Oai, Thuong Tin, and Ha Dong, has made significant progress over the past two years. To date, 91.7% of the required land has been cleared, with only 8.3% or approximately 4.4 km left to be addressed. However, the representative from the Transportation Department acknowledged that there are still several discontinuous sections along the construction route.
Interestingly, the remaining 4.4 km is not concentrated in one area but scattered across the six districts the project traverses. Specifically, out of the seven districts the road passes through, six of them still have outstanding land issues, namely Me Linh, Dan Phuong, Hoai Duc, Thanh Oai, Thuong Tin, and Ha Dong.
On December 16, representatives from some of the affected districts shared that most of the agricultural land has already been cleared. The remaining challenges pertain to residential land, long-standing cemeteries, and the relocation of high-voltage power lines.
In an interview with Tien Phong, Nguyen Tien Minh, Secretary of the Thuong Tin District Party Committee, confirmed that the district has completed the clearance of 134 hectares of agricultural and residential land required for the 9-km stretch of Ring Road 4 passing through the district. “The remaining hurdle is the relocation of power lines and substations from the project area. This task requires coordination with the power company, and the district plays a supporting role in this process,” said Mr. Minh.
Regarding the timeline, Mr. Minh affirmed that the district aims to finalize the process by the end of December this year.
In Ha Dong district, Mr. Phung Chi Tam, Head of the Ha Dong District Investment and Construction Project Management Board (the unit in charge of land clearance), pointed out that the clearance process for the Ring Road 4 construction in the district is facing several challenges, the biggest of which is related to residential land and cemeteries.
Mr. Tam elaborated on the difficulties regarding residential land, explaining that the new Land Law, which came into effect in 2024, has brought about significant changes. These changes range from compensation rates to the process of determining land origins for compensation, and guidance is needed to implement the new regulations. Additionally, people are waiting to see if the new policies will bring them more benefits.
When asked about the timeline for completing the land clearance for Ring Road 4, Mr. Tam replied that the district is committed to meeting the deadline set by the Hanoi Party Committee Secretary, aiming to finish the process by the end of 2024.
Previously, at a meeting to review the progress of the Ring Road 4 project, Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai, Hanoi Party Committee Secretary, instructed relevant agencies, units, departments, and districts to focus their efforts and collaborate with concerned ministries and sectors to consult on mechanisms and policies. The ultimate goal is to complete the land clearance process before the Lunar New Year holiday in 2025. According to Ms. Hoai, this is crucial to ensure the completion of the parallel road before the City Party Congress and enable the investor to achieve their goal of commencing the Component 3 (expressway) project in the second quarter of 2025.

With a population of almost 100,000 people, equal to half the population of Hoan Kiem District, the Linh Dam Urban Area was planned with over 10 car parks. However, the implementation of these car parks has been largely delayed, and some have even been misused. As a result, residents’ cars are often parked on the streets or in unauthorized lots.

“Alleyway Homes: The 30-50sqm Gem That’s Now a Rarity in the Market and Priceless”
“There has been a recent change in the minimum land lot size requirements in Vietnam, according to Le Viet Long, Director of the Resource Center at RECO Home Real Estate Company. Previously, a plot of land as small as 30 square meters could be registered as a separate lot, but the new regulations now require a minimum size of 50 square meters. As a result, houses in alleys with an area of around 30-50 square meters have become a rarity and are no longer available on the market, driving up prices significantly in this segment.”
