On National Highway 14E through Thang Binh, Hiep Duc and Phuoc Son districts, some locations are under construction, making it difficult for vehicles to travel.

On provincial roads, DT615B is currently congested at km15+800 and km17+200 (through Tien Lanh and Tien Phuoc communes) due to 1.5 - 2m deep water.
