The volume of goods passing through the Nam Giang international border gate has increased rapidly. Therefore, the number of heavy-duty vehicles passing through the border gate, transporting goods, especially ores, to ports in Quang Nam, Da Nang, Thua Thien Hue on National Highway 14D, Ho Chi Minh Road, and National Highway 14B is increasing.
According to statistics, there are 12 businesses specializing in transporting goods, with an average of 200 vehicles per day. Meanwhile, Highway 14D (Nam Giang) has low technical standards and an unstable structure, which puts great pressure on the infrastructure, causing the road to deteriorate severely in many locations.
Faced with the above situation, the Quang Nam Department of Transport has implemented many measures, including establishing a Traffic Support Team to assist when vehicles have an accident due to falling into a longitudinal ditch and tipping over, coordinating traffic flow to clear congestion, etc. Repairing damage with the budget for management, maintenance, and regular repair has been arranged.
Actively coordinate and work with the Vietnam Road Administration to continue to supplement and allocate funds to promptly fix and repair damage. Check, detect and promptly handle violations of regulations on traffic infrastructure.
Implementing the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, Quang Nam Customs Department continues to implement vehicle load control under the authority and direction of the Ministry of Finance in Official Dispatch No. 8307 dated June 23, 2014 on coordination of vehicle load control to ensure traffic safety and order. Provincial and Nam Giang District Traffic Police forces maintain patrol and control on National Highway 4D to promptly detect and strictly handle violations of traffic safety and order. Coordinate and support the Department of Transport Inspectorate to stop vehicles to control vehicle load.
