The Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway project passes through Trang Bang town, Go Dau district and Ben Cau district in the past, now An Tinh, Gia Loc, Go Dau wards and Phuoc Thanh, Ben Cau communes, with over 2,200 households and organizations affected.

After approving the compensation, support and resettlement plan for the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway project, the Land Fund Development Center of districts and towns, now a branch of the Tay Ninh Provincial Land Fund Development Center, coordinated with relevant localities and units to organize payments to households from June 2025.

Immediately after being granted a new seal and treasury account, the center quickly continued to make payments to households in accordance with regulations and progress.

To date, the Tay Ninh Provincial Land Fund Development Center, Region 4, has paid 498/964 households, reaching 51.65%. At present, due to the full payment of the advance payment, the payment is temporarily interrupted.

In addition, the unit continues to carry out propaganda and mobilize people to agree with the compensation and support plan for land acquisition and clearance, promptly hand over the site, and ensure the progress of handover according to the direction of the Provincial People's Committee.

The Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai expressway project is a national and provincial key project, of special importance to complete modern transport infrastructure, serve socio-economic development, and strengthen national defense and security. In order to accelerate the project implementation progress and disbursement of the State budget investment plan in the last 6 months of 2025, striving with the highest determination to achieve the target of disbursing 100% of the plan, the Provincial People's Committee directs sectors, levels, and investors to consider the task of implementing public investment projects and disbursing investment capital in 2025 as an important task, contributing to promoting socio-economic development and increasing economic growth rate in 2025.

During the working session at the Provincial People's Committee (base 2), on July 25, 2025, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Ut listened to the sectors' reports on the progress, difficulties, and obstacles of key projects, including the component project 4 of the Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway (phase 1). He requested investors and sectors and localities to proactively and actively coordinate closely and focus on accelerating the progress of compensation and site clearance to implement key projects; promptly handle difficulties and obstacles of investors; request the State Treasury of Region XVIII to proactively provide specific instructions to investors on necessary documents and procedures to register at the treasury after arranging administrative units to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital plans. The province will make efforts to resolve and remove difficulties and obstacles; strive to complete compensation and site clearance for component project 4 of Ho Chi Minh City - Moc Bai Expressway (phase 1) in the third quarter of 2025./.
