Transit trucks "shred" National Highway 14D

QL14D is severely degraded.

The project to collect, manage and use fees for infrastructure works, service works... in the Nam Giang International Border Gate area was approved by the Provincial People's Council on September 22, 2023 and officially collected fees from January 1, 2024.

This fee does not include fees and charges under the authority of other competent authorities and specialized management agencies at border gates according to legal regulations related to road motor vehicles.

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Tien - Deputy Director of Nam Giang International Border Gate Management Board, National Highway 14D is seriously degraded, making it very difficult for vehicles to travel due to the large volume of tractor-trailers carrying transit ore to ports in the Central region.

Traffic volume on National Highway 14D, especially trucks carrying transit ore, is increasing rapidly.

Statistics for the first 3 months of 2024 show that the total number of vehicles passing through the border gate is about 14,114. It is forecasted that this will increase by 150% in the second quarter of 2024 and by 200% by the end of 2024.

To manage and clear goods and vehicles to ensure security and order, the Nam Giang International Border Gate Management Board has requested the Quang Nam Economic Zones and Industrial Zones Management Board to report to the Provincial People's Committee to direct the Department of Transport to have an urgent plan to maintain, repair, and regularly and promptly repair severely damaged points to ensure traffic safety.

At the same time, it is recommended that the Ministry of Transport submit to the Government to invest in National Highway 14D according to standards to ensure traffic connection and comply with regulations on land border gate management.
