The Ministry of Transport has just issued a document responding to the petition of voters in Thua Thien Hue province, requesting the Provincial People's Committee to build works to ensure railway traffic safety and eliminate self-opened paths.

Previously, voters of Thua Thien - Hue province proposed to soon invest in building residential roads at dangerous locations for railway traffic in Thua Thien Hue province to complete the elimination of self-opened paths before 2025 according to Decision No. 358/2020 of the Prime Minister on approving the Project to ensure order in traffic safety corridors and completely handle self-opened paths across railways.

Authorities close self-opened passages in Thua Thien Hue province.

The locality also proposed investing in a number of intersections in Huong Thuy town to ensure infrastructure synchronization, create favorable travel conditions for people and promote local socio-economic development.

According to the Ministry of Transport, according to the Project to ensure order in traffic safety corridors and completely handle self-opened paths across railways, Thua Thien Hue province is planning to build about 25km of railway access roads to eliminate self-opened paths to ensure road and railway traffic safety.

The People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province is also the competent authority to organize the investment in the construction of the local feeder road system. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport requests the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province to promptly implement the proposal of voters.

Regarding the proposal to invest in the intersection, the Ministry of Transport affirmed that the proposal is completely appropriate.
