The North-South Expressway project through Ha Tinh is under construction.

To carry out the site clearance work for 3 component projects of the North-South Eastern Expressway in the 2021-2025 period, 102.38 km long, through Ha Tinh, the Ministry of Transport has allocated a site clearance fund of VND 2,791.54 billion to the province's localities.

The disbursement progress of the project site clearance fund to date is VND 2,351.72/VND 2,791.54 billion, reaching 84.24%.

However, in some localities, the approval of compensation plans for households subject to resettlement and households whose assets are partially affected has not yet been completed; there are still some households that have not received compensation or have received compensation but have not yet handed over the site.

At the same time, the progress of construction of resettlement areas has not been as expected; the relocation of power line infrastructure is quite slow; the progress of disbursement of land acquisition funds in some localities is still lower than the average level. This affects the overall progress of handing over construction sites for the North-South expressway project through the area.
