Roads seriously degraded, people upset

(Baonghean.vn) - People of Dien Yen commune (Dien Chau) are upset because Highway 205 running through the commune is seriously degraded.

Dien Yen is one of the top communes of Dien Chau district. In recent years, the infrastructure system of the commune has been upgraded and built to create a spacious appearance. In 2014, Dien Yen was honored to be recognized as a commune meeting the New Rural standards.

However, over the past two years, Highway 205 passing through the commune has seriously degraded, causing outrage among the people.

Road 205 is an inter-district road connecting communes of Dien Chau district with Do Thanh commune of Yen Thanh district, then intersects National Highway 48 and runs to Quynh Giang commune of Quynh Luu district, connecting with National Highway 1A. The road is important in socio-economic development, as well as ensuring national security and defense.

Route 205, the section passing through Dien Yen commune, is about 2km long. Initially, only about 200m of the road was damaged at the intersection with National Highway 48. After receiving feedback from the people, the local authorities poured graded rock and rolled it back, creating favorable conditions for people to travel and trade at the nearby market.

This is an important route with large traffic volume.

However, recently, this road has shown signs of rapid deterioration, with deep potholes all over the road. In some places, large ponds have formed, taking up the entire road, making it extremely dangerous for people to travel.

When it rains, the road is muddy and slippery, and when it is sunny, it is dusty. The lives of people along this road are severely affected, every house is tightly closed to prevent dust from entering.

According to the locals, the reason for the road deterioration is that it was built a long time ago. In recent times, due to the large number of vehicles passing by, trucks carrying soil, rocks, etc., passing by have caused the road to deteriorate more and more.

In addition, due to poor drainage system, every time it rains, water cannot drain away, causing the asphalt road to peel off and become damaged every day.

People hope to soon have funds to upgrade and renovate roads to create favorable conditions for people to travel conveniently.

Ms. DTC, a resident living right next to this road, said: Households living along both sides of the road like us are greatly affected. During the rainy season, the road is flooded, and during the dry season, it is dusty. We only hope that the authorities will soon upgrade it to create favorable conditions for people to travel.

The leader of Dien Yen Commune People's Committee said that, besides having a significance for people's livelihood, Route 205 is part of the Rescue Road project from Dien Hai to Dien Thinh, Dien Chau District. However, due to the current difficulty of the State budget, the road cannot be rebuilt, so there are only temporary measures to fix the severely damaged areas to help people travel more easily.
