Regarding the cause of rutting, according to the Minister, it is due to uneven construction and lack of strict supervision. Contractors need to review the construction materials and equipment to gain experience, especially to conduct construction experiments under different conditions to find the most optimal solution. The Minister proposed to commend the units that do well, and at the same time severely criticize the contractors that still let rutting occur.
