The high-speed North-South railway project, spanning 1,541 km, commences at Ngoc Hoi Station in Hanoi and terminates at Thu Thiem Station in Ho Chi Minh City.
The route traverses 20 provinces and cities, reducing to 15 upon the completion of administrative rearrangement. The railway will encompass 23 stations, including five dedicated to freight.
The North-South high-speed railway, in its passage through Ha Tinh province, covers approximately 103 kilometers and traverses eight localities under the three-tier government model. These include Duc Tho, Can Loc, Thach Ha, Cam Xuyen, Ky Anh, Ky Anh Town, Hong Linh Town, and Ha Tinh City. With the implementation of the two-tier government model from July 1st, the project will pass through 18 wards and five communes.
According to preliminary estimates, Ha Tinh province will need to acquire and compensate for nearly 765 hectares of land, including 84 hectares of residential land. The province plans to construct approximately 35 resettlement areas to accommodate 1,314 affected households.
In Duc Tho district, for instance, there are 10 affected households, and the plan is to build two resettlement areas.
In Hong Linh Town, 196 households require resettlement, and four areas are proposed for their relocation.
In Can Loc district, with 96 affected households, three resettlement areas are planned.
Thach Ha district, with 378 resettled households, will have nine areas designated for their new homes.
Ha Tinh City, with 198 households in need of relocation, will establish three resettlement areas.
Cam Xuyen district, with 233 resettled households, will develop nine new areas for them.
Ky Anh district, with 163 affected households, plans to build five resettlement areas.
Ky Anh Town, with 40 households in need of relocation, will have one dedicated resettlement area.
Ha Tinh province has proposed to preselect one resettlement area site to expedite the completion of necessary procedures and be ready for a groundbreaking ceremony on August 19th. This area, spanning approximately six hectares, is currently mostly unused land managed by the local government, facilitating a swift construction process.
For the remaining resettlement areas, the localities through which the project passes will coordinate closely with relevant departments to finalize the necessary procedures. Construction of these areas is slated to commence before October 2025.
The completion deadline for these resettlement areas is set for June 30, 2026, allowing for the relocation of affected households. The entire process is expected to conclude by December 2026.
