Da Bac district is striving to complete land clearance for the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressway project in the first quarter of next year. As of the end of November, the district handed over land for just 3 km of the road, from km 24+500 to km 27+500 in Cao Son commune.

The expressway spans 34 km in total, with an investment of 9.9 trillion VND (390 million USD). A 21-km part of the route runs through Da Bac district, prompting the need to relocate 88 households in the communes of Cao Son, Tien Phong, Tu Ly, and Da Bac town. Effective communication efforts have persuaded local residents to support the project.
Nguyen Thi Hiem, a resident of Seo village, Cao Son commune, said that local residents are very excited that the expressway will pass through the area. Her family is among those having to move to make way for the road, she said, adding that they have already received compensation and handed over the land to the construction unit.
All 100 affected households have agreed with the compensation plans. So far, only four households have not relocated due to problems relating to administrative procedures rather than disagreement with the project.
In Cao Son commune, the construction of the expressway impacts four villages - Seo, Na Chieu, Tam, and Lanh - with over 300 households and more than 1,000 land plots affected.
Across the entire route, there are 2,236 plots of land to be taken for the expressway's construction, including 888 plots in Da Bac Town (5 km), 1,125 in Cao Son (10.5 km), 20 in Tu Ly (0.2 km), and 223 in Tien Phong (6 km).
By the end of November, the district had completed land measuring and property evaluation along the main route, with 60 households to be resettled.
The project management board has prepared a compensation plan for assets on the land for the entire route, with a total budget of approximately 30 billion VND.
