Ho Chi Minh City allocates 1.8 trillion VND for Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem metro site clearance

Ho Chi Minh City is planning to spend approximately 1,831.6 billion VND on compensation, support, and resettlement for the Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem section of Metro Line 2. The project is scheduled for implementation during the 2026-2027 period.

The metro segment spans roughly 6.78 km and passes through the wards of Ben Thanh, Sai Gon, An Khanh, and Binh Trung. The project requires the recovery of approximately 47,007 m² of land, with the majority located in Binh Trung (39,907 m²) and An Khanh (7,100 m²). About 43 cases will be affected by the land recovery, including four cases requiring total relocation.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment is currently seeking feedback from relevant agencies and local authorities regarding the feasibility study. The Management Authority for Urban Railways has been designated as the investor responsible for project preparation and documentation.
