Yen Ly Intersection, Dien Yen Commune is the intersection between National Highway 1A, National Highway 48, and the North-South Railway. For many years, this has been considered a black spot, causing traffic congestion with dozens of dangerous accidents and collisions.

Although the road bridge over National Highway 48 and National Highway 1A has been in use for a year now, Dien Chau district has also resolved the problems, implemented compensation policies, supported site clearance in accordance with regulations, and at the same time increased propaganda work, met with households living around this intersection, but it has not been closed yet. The reason is that over 100 households in hamlet 16 involved here mainly live near National Highway 48, making a living by trading services and transport vehicles, so they do not agree.

Faced with this situation, the Ministry of Transport and the People's Committee of Nghe An province requested Dien Chau district to permanently close this intersection and build a pedestrian overpass.

At the same time, mobilized all conditions in terms of facilities and means to organize the protection of this intersection and construct the overpass on National Highway 1A for pedestrians seriously and in accordance with the law.

With the drastic participation of the government and functional forces, on the morning of March 29, the construction protection work took place in accordance with the law, received the people's approval and ensured the safety of people and property, contributing to helping the contractor implement the construction according to the project plan so that people can travel safely and conveniently./.
