Many rural roads in Bac Lieu province have collapsed and have not been repaired, making travel difficult for people.
After nearly a year of subsidence due to drought and saltwater intrusion at the beginning of the 2024 dry season, many rural roads in Hong Dan and Dong Hai districts (Bac Lieu province) have not been repaired.
People in the above areas still have to travel on temporary roads and wooden bridges, which do not ensure traffic safety.
A collapsed road section in Ninh Quoi A commune, Hong Dan district has not been repaired in time, making it difficult for people to travel.
People still hope that the roads will be repaired soon, creating convenient conditions for travel and trade, especially ensuring safety for students going to school.
Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh (residing in Ninh Chai hamlet, Ninh Quoi A commune, Hong Dan district) said that the concrete road near his house was built about a year ago. In May 2024, this road suffered serious subsidence, cutting off traffic.
"Now, people who want to transport a lot of goods have to use boats because big vehicles cannot pass. It is not safe for students to travel, it is very dangerous to go through the landslide section. I really hope that the authorities will soon repair the road to facilitate traffic," Mr. Khanh added.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (residing in Ninh Tien hamlet, Ninh Quoi A commune) shared that right after the subsidence occurred, his family lent the land in front of the house so that people in the hamlet could temporarily move around.
"It's been almost a year, and the authorities have not repaired the damaged road. Currently, it's very difficult for people to travel, when it rains it's muddy, slippery and easy to fall, very dangerous," said Mr. Hung.
Similarly, a 2.5m wide and 30m long rural traffic section on the Vinh Dien - Lap Dien route, Vinh Dien hamlet, Long Dien Tay commune, Dong Hai district suddenly collapsed at the end of July 2024. Up to now, this landslide has not been fixed, people have to take a detour which is very inconvenient.
Students go to school over the old temporary wooden bridge, which is very dangerous and poses a high risk of traffic safety.
Speaking with Giao thong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Nguyen Van Chien, Vice Chairman of Hong Dan District People's Committee said that immediately after the land subsidence occurred, the District People's Committee reported and proposed that the functional departments of the province soon submit to the Provincial People's Committee, considering supporting capital for the district to overcome the situation and stabilize the lives of people in the affected area.
"Up to now, the district has been allocated funds and will soon implement the repair of affected areas as soon as possible. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2025, the repair will begin," said Mr. Chien.
"To repair the damage and ensure traffic through the subsidence and landslide area, the district has also included it in the public investment plan to allocate capital, and is expected to implement the repair in early 2025," said Mr. Ho Thanh Tuan, Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dong Hai district.
