Vice Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee Nguyen Van Hieu also asked the People’s Committee of Thu Duc City to check legal documents proving land use rights, and ownership of houses or assets attached to land to solve problems in site clearance and give clear information to local residents as well as persuade affected households to hand over land for the project as soon as possible.
He assigned relevant agencies to handle obstacles to restart the third section of the Ring Road 2 project soon.
The third section of the Ring Road 2 project has been temporarily suspended due to an incomplete adjustment to solve problems in payment procedures of land funds to investors, said Deputy Director of the HCMC Transport Department Phan Cong Bang.
In the past time, the site clearance work still has some difficulties and problems. Thu Duc City is currently coordinating with relevant units to urgently speed up the site handover this year. Regarding the implementation of construction projects, investors will carry out the remaining items after adjusting a number of designs.

To date, the main contract has expired. The Thu Thiem Urban Development Area Management Board has reviewed and submitted a report on signing a BT appendix contract to the HCMC People’s Committee after the municipal People’s Committee approves the project adjustment.
The investor proposed Thu Duc City complete site clearance work for the implementation of the project soon.
