Ngoc Hoi Commune distributes compensation for National Highway 1A expansion

Authorities in Ngoc Hoi Commune, Hanoi, have begun distributing compensation payments to 32 households whose land is being reclaimed for the expansion of National Highway 1A. The project aims to widen the road to 90 meters with a 16-lane capacity to improve connectivity for the southern part of the capital.

Local officials reported that nearly 160 billion VND has been paid out so far, with 20 out of 30 hectares of land cleared. Some residents received significant sums, including one household receiving over 6.5 billion VND and another receiving 6.9 billion VND. Due to the large amounts of cash, some residents brought suitcases to transport their compensation.

The local government is applying a land price adjustment coefficient of K=2 and providing resettlement land within the area to help residents stabilize their lives. The goal is to complete land clearance by November.
