On November 2, Ha Tinh Electronic Newspaper published an article "After heavy rain, National Highway 1, the northern section of Ha Tinh City bypass, has deteriorated even more seriously" reflecting the situation that many locations and sections of the route were damaged and affected by heavy rains, causing the road surface to peel off severely, with many potholes appearing, causing traffic insecurity.

Many locations and sections on National Highway 1 are damaged and peeling, causing traffic safety loss.

After the information was published, Cienco4 Group Joint Stock Company (Cienco4) - the investor of the project to upgrade and expand National Highway 1 from the South of Ben Thuy Bridge to the North of Ha Tinh City bypass route, directed the Vinh City Bypass BOT Branch - the unit responsible for managing, maintaining and repairing the route, to mobilize machinery and human resources to repair damaged sections.

Mr. Nguyen Danh Thin - Head of the Road Management Department (BOT Branch of Vinh City Bypass) said: In the face of some damaged and peeling locations and sections of the route, the unit has implemented repairs. However, in recent times, Ha Tinh has often had heavy rains, causing the repair work to be interrupted.

Severely damaged sections of road were scraped and resurfaced with new asphalt concrete.

“There were times when the road surface had been scraped but the paving could not be carried out due to the rain. The unit had to wait until the sun came out and the road surface was dry before it could be re-paved,” Mr. Nguyen Danh Thin informed.

According to the Head of the Road Management Department (BOT Branch of Vinh City Bypass), right after the heavy rain from October 28 to 31 in Ha Tinh ended, on November 1, the unit continued to repair.

There are two solutions applied, with peeling and damaged road surfaces creating "potholes" temporarily patched with asphalt concrete, while the carpet scraping solution is prioritized for severely damaged road surfaces, posing a risk of causing traffic safety problems.

The section through Thach Lien commune, Thach Ha district has been repaved.

Along with temporary patching of potholes, currently, the severely damaged areas that Ha Tinh Newspaper has reported such as: the section through Thach Lien commune, Thach Kenh commune (Thach Ha district); Nghen town, Thien Loc commune, Vuong Loc commune (Can Loc district) have had the old road surface scraped off, cleaned, watered with emulsion, and re-paved with a new layer of hot asphalt concrete.

“Since the request of Road Management Area II (Vietnam Road Administration) (September 15) up to now, the unit has repaired 10,000 ^m2 . Instead of 5cm as before, the sections are now covered with a 12cm thick layer of hot asphalt concrete, contributing to ensuring smooth traffic for people and vehicles, at least in rainy and windy weather”, Mr. Nguyen Danh Thin - Head of Road Management Area, Vinh City BOT bypass branch informed.

The volume of road surface and roadbed that needs to be repaired is still very large.

Affirming that the current state of the road surface and roadbed of National Highway 1 from the South of Ben Thuy Bridge to the North of Ha Tinh City bypass has improved compared to before, the route management unit also confirmed that on the more than 35km long route through Ha Tinh, there are still many locations and sections that need to be repaired.

In addition, the scraping and re-laying of a 12cm thick asphalt concrete layer has only been carried out in certain lanes and directions. For example, the section through Thach Lien commune has only been able to fix the second lane for cars from the hard median strip in the North-South direction.

The section through Nghen town, Can Loc district was raked and repaved.

According to the Road Management Department, Vinh City BOT bypass branch, in the coming days, if the weather is good, the unit will continue to repair the road surface and roadbed in severely damaged sections such as: the section through Thach Kenh commune, the red light cluster area in Viet Tien commune (Thach Ha district)...

“After completing the repair of severely damaged locations and sections, the unit will continue to repair in a rolling manner the section from Bui Cam Ho intersection (Hong Linh town) to Thach Ha district. This is a section with many damaged roadbed locations. After the repair is completed, the road markings will be painted.

In the coming time, the road surface of National Highway 1 will be much improved compared to before", Mr. Nguyen Danh Thin - Head of the Road Management Department, Vinh City BOT bypass branch affirmed.
