(Baonghean.vn) - For many years, residents have continuously complained about the traffic "black spot" on Hoang Thi Loan road - the section passing through Block 8, Ben Thuy Ward (Vinh City).
 |
| Hoang Thi Loan Street was upgraded starting in 2010. It is one of the main traffic routes connecting Phong Dinh Cang Street to Nguyen Van Troi Street in Ben Thuy Ward (Vinh City). The deteriorated section of road, which is frequently flooded, is located in Block 8 of the ward and is only about 100 meters from the Ben Thuy Ward Party Committee and People's Committee headquarters.

| Just a light rain is enough to instantly flood the entire stretch of road with dirty water. Pedestrians feel like they're seeing their reflection in the water. Photo: D.T. |
 |
| A leader from Ben Thuy ward said that the complexity of this traffic point stems from the lack of a drainage system and the fact that four households have not agreed on the land clearance plan for the road upgrade project. Therefore, this section of road has become a "bottleneck," causing difficulties for people and vehicles using the road. Photo: D.T. |

| Due to constant flooding, many sections of the road surface have peeled off, creating large potholes. Photo: D.T. |

| According to a representative from the Ben Thuy Ward People's Committee, the city had previously planned to upgrade and repair this section of road, but the funding was withdrawn due to difficulties in land acquisition. Addressing this traffic bottleneck has been included in the medium-term plan from now until 2020. (Photo: D.T) |
