Specifically, all three component projects of Van Phong - Nha Trang, Quy Nhon - Chi Thanh and Chi Thanh - Van Phong have not yet made a plan for compensation and resettlement support.
The main reason is that the People's Committees of Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen have not yet issued the compensation prices for recovered land areas and crops .
Besides, another reason is that several recovered areas are not listed in the land use plan until 2030 and the land use plan in 2022; meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport requested to hand over 70 percent of the site for construction and install bidding packages before November 20 and hand over the entire remaining sites in the second quarter of 2023.

Additionally, the MoT urged the provincial People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen to promulgate compensation upon the land and crop recovered by the State, accelerate the counting, make plans for compensation and resettlement support, build resettlement areas and relocate technical infrastructure and so on.
However, the project has not been approved yet for the environmental impact assessment report, and has not submitted the feasibility study reports of component projects. Therefore, the MoT asked the People’s Committees of Dong Nai and Ba Ria- Vung Tau provinces to direct investors of the sub-projects to speed up the progress of the project's implementation.
The ministry informed that the preparation progress for investment into the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway is also delayed. According to the plan, the component projects under the first phase of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway project must complete the necessary procedures for approval of the feasibility study report before November 20.
