Vietnam Hung Urban Area Connector Road: 21 Years as a ‘Dead End’

The 48-meter road project connecting Viet Hung Urban Area (Viet Hung Ward, Hanoi) was approved for investment in 2004. After 21 years, the road remains a dead end due to challenges in land clearance.

Strategically located at the northeastern gateway of Hanoi, Viet Hung Urban Area is adjacent to major routes such as QL5, Ngo Gia Tu, and QL1A. However, the connecting roads from the urban area to these main roads remain incomplete after many years. Notably, the Mai Chi Tho route to Ngo Gia Tu Street is still unfinished.

Despite its width, this road remains virtually deserted as it currently leads directly into residential properties.

Two sections of the Mai Chi Tho route to Ngo Gia Tu Street are interrupted due to land clearance delays.

Upon completion, the 2km-long road is designed to accommodate six lanes with a 48m cross-section. Approved for investment in 2004, the project remains unfinished after 21 years.

The planned route is expected to traverse hundreds of residential properties to connect with Ngo Gia Tu Street.

One section of the road is stalled between two ends due to unresolved land clearance issues with residents.

According to Tien Phong newspaper, the Viet Hung Ward People’s Committee stated that the road is part of the project: “Construction of 40m and 48m roads connecting Viet Hung New Urban Area to Ngo Gia Tu Street, Duc Giang Ward, Long Bien District, Hanoi (now Viet Hung Ward).”

The total land area to be reclaimed for the project is 33,117m², affecting 246 households.

Authorities have issued land reclamation notices to 109 out of 116 households, with 7 split households yet to be contacted. So far, 90 out of 116 households have been surveyed.

The Ward People’s Committee cited prolonged project implementation, changes in land reclamation policies, compensation, and resettlement support as challenges. Additionally, the large-scale land clearance, complex land use histories, and resistance from households unwilling to accept apartment resettlement or land compensation rates have further complicated the process.

To expedite the project, the Viet Hung Ward People’s Committee has requested the Hanoi People’s Committee to extend the project implementation deadline.

The Ward People’s Committee is also adjusting the project’s land prices according to current policies and reconstructing the project’s comprehensive map, including measuring and extracting all data.
