The first phase of Hanoi’s elevated
railway early next year will lead to the destruction of 1,811 home
units along the 15 km route and the resettlement of almost 8,000 people.
The work will start with the mapping of every household in the affected area. The work is scheduled for completion by 2016.
Funds for site clearance total about 3,180 billion VND (172 million USD).
The route, which runs for 15.36 km from Giap Bat in the south to Gia Lam in the east, will involve the site clearance of 125 ha of land in seven districts and 22 communes, according to the City Urban Railway Construction Project’s management unit.
Among them, Long Bien district will be the most affected. A total of 630 households with 3,200 people living on 40 ha will have to move.
Dong Da district is next with 66 households involving 1,400 people; and Hoan Kiem district with 350 households and 1,300 people.
Nguyen Khanh Tung, who is in charge of site clearance, said the time frame for site clearance was from now until 2013.
Preparation of an official register of value, size and ownership of land, known as a cadastral map, will begin early next year.
“Although we haven’t implemented site-clearance activities, I think this will happen smoothly,” Tung said.
“This is because the new route is mainly based alongside the old railway route. The width will be expanded a few metres to meet technical needs. There will be no major cross cuts through residential areas.”
An engineering consultation contract for 848 billion VND (47 million USD) between Hanoi City Urban Railway Construction Project and the Vietnam Railway Corporation was signed earlier last month.
The second and final stage of the whole project will begin in 2016 and is expected to be completed by 2020. It will extend the overhead railway by another 13km from Ngoc Hoi to Giap Bat and from Gia Lam to Yen Vien.
Total cost for both stages will be about 1.7 billion USD. Funds have been provided through official development assistance (ODA) from the Japanese Government./.
