"Tiger" trucks destroy model residential area's roads, people helplessly live with pollution

Clip: A convoy of trucks carrying dirt "plowed" up the road of a model residential area in Ha Tinh, residents called for help because of dust and pollution.

In addition to economic development, Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district (Ha Tinh province) also focuses on mobilizing resources to build infrastructure and complete the criteria for a new rural commune. Therefore, Son Binh village has become a "bright spot" in the local new rural construction movement, the first village in the commune to meet the model new rural standards in 2017.

Every day, hundreds of trucks carrying soil move on the road to Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune (Can Loc district, Ha Tinh).

Recently, the Son Binh village road, Thuong Loc commune, more than 2 km long, connecting from National Highway 15 to Provincial Road 70, has been allowed by local authorities at all levels to be used by investors and construction units as a service road for the North-South Expressway project. This is a beautiful road to the model village of Son Binh in Can Loc district, Ha Tinh province.

Ms. Tran Thi Song, residing in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district, Ha Tinh province, is terrified of having to endure the dust and noise of the "tiger-pouncing" trucks carrying soil passing by every day.

The "tiger" convoy operates at high frequency, causing many cracks and uneven road surfaces on this model road. In the dry season, dust flies up along the main road in Son Binh village, causing serious environmental pollution. In the rainy season, deep puddles and mud appear on the road surface, affecting the traffic of local people.

The road surface, mud, and bumps caused by the "tiger" vehicles plowed through, causing many difficulties for people participating in traffic.

Ms. Tran Thi Phuoc, residing in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district, indignantly said: "Son Binh is the first village in the locality to be recognized as a model new-style rural residential area, a great effort of the local government and the people. However, the new concrete roads and rows of trees that we built have been destroyed by large trucks that have been raging for many months."

According to Ms. Tran Thi Phuoc, residing in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district, every day there are hundreds of "tiger" trucks carrying soil passing through this route.

Although it is just the beginning of the rainy season, it has caused us a lot of hardship, the rain water makes the roads slippery, mud splashes all over us. In the morning, when I take my child to school, I have to put his uniform in my backpack and change when I get to class to avoid getting it dirty.

The truck carrying dirt passed by, mud splashed everywhere, dirtying the people participating in traffic.

According to local residents, the "huge" trucks carrying dirt operate at high frequency, continuously from around 5am to 8pm every day. Each truck carries a lot of dirt and rocks, which fall onto the road, causing many households on both sides to suffer from dust and mud.

The convoy of "tiger" trucks carrying soil took up most of the roadway area, affecting traffic participants.

After a period of exploitation, the main road in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district was destroyed by heavy trucks. The heavy weight of the trucks caused many wheel ruts and uneven road surfaces, making it unsafe to travel on this route, especially at night.

Ms. Le Thi Xuan (residing in Son Binh village) points to a seriously degraded road in Son Binh model village, Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc district, Ha Tinh province.

Ms. Bui Thi Huong (owner of a grocery store on the roadside of Son Binh village) said: "I opened a grocery store 3 years ago, before that, the goods were still sold normally. About a year ago, many trucks carrying soil passed by, causing dust and pollution, and the goods became unsold. I clean regularly but the dust still sticks thickly to the shelves and products."

Ms. Bui Thi Huong's grocery store is covered in white dust.

Mrs. Tran Thi Song (whose house is also located next to the road in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune) said: "Rain or shine, every day there are hundreds of trucks carrying dirt running on this road. Every time a truck passes by, I am haunted, having to stand by the side of the road and wait for the truck to pass before I dare to go.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Song, residing in Son Binh village, Thuong Loc commune, the trucks carrying soil on the road cause dust, pollute the environment, and pose a potential risk of accidents. Photo: PV

We hope that the project will be completed soon so that the convoy will not pass through, restoring the peace that once existed to the locality. In addition, we hope that the government and relevant agencies will take measures to soon repair some of these seriously degraded sections of the road."

"The local government has also repeatedly asked business owners to water regularly to reduce dust, reduce speed when traveling on the road, and prevent accidents. In addition, businesses are required to fix seriously degraded areas on the road," the Chairman added.
