The 9km long road connecting National Highway 15A through Giang Son Tay and Lam Son communes was completed in 2010, solving an important part of the traffic in the area. However, after a period of use, the road has seriously degraded, every short distance there is a peeling section of dozens of meters long, with large and small "potholes" causing difficulties for vehicles. Many sections were temporarily paved with rocks to fix but quickly peeled off again.

Mr. Dang Duy Nam, a resident of Trung Hau hamlet, Giang Son Tay commune, said indignantly: "The road has been deteriorating for several years now, while trucks carrying construction materials and rocks operate continuously day and night, further deteriorating the road."

Residents living along the road said they had repeatedly reported the road condition to the authorities. The authorities had repeatedly tried to fix the problem by spreading rocks to fill the potholes, but due to the use of oversized and overloaded vehicles, the road quickly deteriorated.

Chairman of Giang Son Tay Commune People's Committee - Mr. Dang Xuan Quang, when discussing the degraded state of Lam Son - Giang Son Tay road, said: "People's frustration is a reality. The local government is also waiting for the district to have a solution to ensure safety for people on the road while Tet is approaching."

Mr. Le Anh Son - Deputy Head of the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Do Luong district said: "Repairing the road requires a large amount of capital and an accompanying project. While waiting for the project, the local government is currently mobilizing machinery and workers to repair degraded sections and fill potholes on the road from Lam Son commune to Giang Son Tay."
