Hà Nội sắp thu hồi đất, giải phóng mặt bằng làm dự án đường sắt tốc độ cao

The North-South high-speed railway line was approved by the National Assembly for investment in Resolution No. 172 dated November 30, 2024.

The project has a total length of about 1,541 km, starting from Ngoc Hoi station (Hanoi) and ending at Thu Thiem station (HCMC).

The project uses a double-track gauge of 1,435 mm, a design speed of up to 350 km/h, with 23 passenger stations and 5 freight stations.

The total preliminary investment for the entire route is about 1.7 million billion VND (equivalent to 67 billion USD), using public investment capital combined with other legal capital sources. The entire route is expected to be completed in 2035.

The high-speed railway section through Hanoi is about 27.9 km long, expected to reclaim about 112.74 hectares of land in the communes: Ngoc Hoi, Thuong Tin, Thuong Phuc, Phuong Duc, Chuyen My and Dai Xuyen (belonging to the old districts of Thanh Tri, Thuong Tin, Phu Xuyen).

On March 13, the Office of the Hanoi People's Committee sent a document to the People's Committees of the districts requesting to review, summarize the needs and propose resettlement locations.

Thuong Tin District (old), now Thuong Tin and Thuong Phuc communes, has a total recovered area (excluding the protection area on both sides of the railway) of about 44,955m2; affecting about 411 households. The land area required to build resettlement areas in the area is about 16ha.

To ensure the conditions for starting the North-South high-speed railway project before December 31, 2026 according to Resolution 106 of the Government dated April 23, 2025, the Hanoi People's Committee requested relevant departments, branches and units to complete the review of the route in July and hand over the site clearance markers in each locality in August.

Along with that, it is necessary to soon plan resettlement areas for households affected by the project, ensuring that "new housing is equal to or better than the old housing".

In Ngoc Hoi commune, the locality not only has the North-South high-speed railway project passing through, but also has the Ngoc Hoi station complex planned on an area of about 251 hectares, with a total investment of about 19,000 billion VND (including high-speed railway station, depot area, national railway station, freight station, urban railway depot and technical infrastructure for operation), the site clearance work is also being focused on by Ngoc Hoi commune.

Ngoc Hoi commune leaders said that with the orientation of rapid development of traffic infrastructure, urban infrastructure, creating momentum for the development of trade and services, forming a modern urban appearance, focusing on the Ngoc Hoi station complex, with a complex of services, trade, logistics... will be the driving force of the commune.

"Ngoc Hoi station complex, Thanh Tri district (old) has cleared over 170 hectares of land. In this second phase, we will promote what has been done, closely following reality to have specific plans for each household, each case, each area. The locality identifies land clearance as an important task, focusing all resources, with great determination to carry out the fastest and most effective implementation", said the leader of Ngoc Hoi commune.
