Traffic accident 'black spot' on Nghi Duc - Nghi Thiet road

(Baonghean.vn) - Nghi Duc - Nghi Thiet route has many severely degraded spots, especially the section running through Nghi Truong commune has become a traffic black spot. Dozens of serious traffic accidents have occurred here.

The 50m long road running through Hamlet 2, Nghi Truong Commune has now become a traffic accident "black spot" that lurks for passersby.

Nghi Duc - Nghi Thiet traffic route is nearly 18km long, passing through Nghi Duc, Nghi An communes (Vinh city), Nghi Truong, Nghi Xa, Nghi Quang, Nghi Thiet (Nghi Loc district). The road was built with capital from the Japanese JBIC Bank, the investor is Nghi Loc district People's Committee, the construction unit is Construction Company 185. This road was completed in 2003.

This has been one of the important arterial routes between Vinh city and Nghi Loc district for many years. Every day, thousands of vehicles travel on this route.

Many sections of this road are currently in serious disrepair, especially the 50m section running through Hamlet 2, Nghi Truong Commune. According to observations, this section of the road has sunk heavily, the road surface is peeling off. There are many buffalo holes on both sides of the road, lurking for passersby.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Nghia, who lives next to this road, said that there have been dozens of accidents here. Especially on days when it rains heavily or at night. Strangers passing by here who are unfamiliar with the area have fallen off their bikes, crashed into bushes or suffered severe scratches. During the recent heavy rain, according to Mr. Nghia, there were about 10 accidents on this section.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Nghia said that dozens of accidents have occurred on this road, most often during heavy rain or at night.

This 'black spot' makes people extremely worried because accidents can happen at any time. During the recent heavy rain, Mr. Nguyen Nhu Luong (Hamlet 1, Nghi Truong) and Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hop (Hamlet 2, Nghi Truong) had an accident while passing through this section. Mr. Luong suffered a scratched hand and sprained ankle, while Mr. Hop drove his car into the dust.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Nghia added that every day, many overloaded trucks with a load capacity of 50 to 60 tons pass through this section of road, operating from about 4 a.m. to late at night. This is also a factor causing serious subsidence on this section of road.

The bridge connecting hamlet 10, Nghi An (Vinh city) and Nghi Truong commune (Nghi Loc district) was severely damaged.

And here is a section running through hamlet 4, Nghi Xa commune.

Also on the Nghi Duc - Nghi Thiet route, some sections running through the Hospital Hamlet (Nghi Truong), Hamlet 4 (Nghi Xa) and the section connecting Hamlet 10 (Nghi An) and Nghi Truong Commune have shown signs of severe damage. The general condition is that the road surface has been completely stripped of asphalt, full of rocks and potholes...

We think that this is an important route for people's traffic as well as helping to develop the economy between communes. We request that relevant authorities quickly handle it to ensure traffic safety and trade for the people.
