Gia Lai accelerates resettlement infrastructure for highway and disaster relief

Gia Lai province is accelerating the completion of resettlement infrastructure to support residents affected by the Quy Nhon - Pleiku Expressway project and those living in natural disaster-prone areas.

For the first component of the expressway project, infrastructure construction in several resettlement areas is largely complete. Local authorities have allocated land to hundreds of households across sites such as Tra Son, Kien Long, Thuan Duc, Thuan Hoa, Truong Dinh 2, and Phu Lac. In many of these locations, residents have already begun constructing homes or preparing foundations.

In response to disaster risks, the provincial People's Committee has directed local authorities and investors to resolve bottlenecks in land clearance, compensation, and housing construction. The province aims to expedite the disbursement of 1,231.5 billion VND in central budget funds allocated for 2026. Efforts are being concentrated on specific communes, including Phu My Dong, Uar, Cat Tien, Phu My Bac, Ia Hiao, and An Hoa, to finalize compensation plans and relocate eligible households to safer environments.
