Strengthening traffic safety

In a document sent to the People's Committee of Vinh City, Nghi Loc District and Cua Lo Town, the Nghe An Department of Transport emphasized: "During the project implementation, with the attention, direction and coordination of localities in site clearance and handling of problems during the implementation process, the traffic route connecting Vinh - Cua Lo (phase 2) has been completed according to the schedule directed by the Provincial People's Committee.

In order to meet the travel needs of people from Vinh City to Cua Lo beach tourist area, on August 29, 2024, the Department of Transport directed the Traffic Construction Project Management Board to complete the procedures for temporary traffic operation at a speed of 50km/h.

However, during the exploitation process, there were quite a lot of people driving in the opposite direction; grazing buffalo and cows on the median strip was quite common; garbage collection on both sides of the sidewalk still occurred; some households built structures, billboards, corrugated iron roofs, planted perennial trees to re-encroach on the sidewalk; building platforms and platforms to make sidewalks and walkways occurred widely... leading to traffic insecurity, impaired road drainage and loss of road aesthetics.

Nghe An Department of Transport requested Vinh City, Nghi Loc District and Cua Lo Town to strengthen traffic safety on the Vinh - Cua Lo connecting road, especially after increasing the maximum speed on the route.

To ensure the safety of people participating in traffic and minimize the risk of traffic insecurity, Nghe An Department of Transport requests the People's Committees of Vinh City, Nghi Loc District and Cua Lo Town to direct related wards and communes to notify people to dismantle constructions, billboards, corrugated iron roofs, perennial trees, platforms, pedestals to make sidewalks... before November 20, 2024.

Closely manage the construction of works along both sides of the project scope, promptly detect and apply measures to prevent, handle and suspend acts of encroachment on the project's sidewalk scope.

Propaganda and mobilize people to comply with traffic organization plans, principles of safe traffic participation and not to graze buffaloes and cows on the route.

Direct the Vinh City Police, Nghi Loc District and Cua Lo Town to patrol, control and handle violations of traffic order and safety, and guide people to comply with the plan to organize safe traffic.
