Drilling mountains to clear the road between Quy Hop and Tan Ky districts opens a way out of poverty

Mr. Cao Duy Thai - Chairman of Chau Ly Commune People's Committee said: This route passing through Chau Ly Commune, Quy Hop District to Tan Hop Commune, Tan Ky District has long been blocked by Phi Lua slope (the slope's name given by the locals). People who want to cross this slope to go to Tan Hop Commune (Tan Ky) have to climb over a dangerous rocky slope, due to traffic difficulties, it also affects people's lives.

However, since 2022, the inter-district road project from Choong village - Bon village, Chau Ly commune, Quy Hop district to Tan Hop commune, Tan Ky district has been started, the road is over 13 km long, (including nearly 1 km of Phi Lua slope). Up to now, the construction unit has cut the rock mountain, opening the road through Phi Lua slope.

Arriving at the foot of Phi Lua slope, we saw the shape of a large road through the steep rocky mountain, looking to the other side was Tan Hop commune.

The representative of the construction unit said: Construction of Phi Lua slope, nearly 1 km long, was very difficult and dangerous because of the rugged terrain, mainly rocky mountains. The construction unit had to drill into the rock mountain to lower the ground level by more than 12 m through the top of the mountain. The construction time of Phi Lua slope was over 1 year before the road was opened. Currently, the sub-items such as slopes and asphalt are being completed...

The lowering of Phi Lua slope has made local people very excited. Ms. Vi Thi Nga in Bang village, Chau Ly commune said: I work as a worker at Minh Anh factory in Tan Ky district, every day it takes me about 1.5 hours to travel, now the road is almost finished, cars can go through Phi Lua slope, it is expected to take only more than 30 minutes to get to the garment factory very conveniently.

Also according to Mr. Cao Duy Thai - Chairman of Chau Ly Commune People's Committee: The Phi Lua slope will be convenient in all directions, shortening the geographical distance, such as going through Phi Lua slope from Chau Ly Commune People's Committee, Quy Hop District to Tan Hop Commune People's Committee, Tan Ky District is only 11 km, while before going by detour from Ha Son Commune, Quy Hop District, it took 65 km.

In particular, people from Chau Ly commune go to Tan Hop commune to work as laborers harvesting sugarcane in Tan Hop commune, Tan Ky district, very conveniently, they can go in the morning and return in the evening, previously many workers had to sleep there because the road was too far. Seeing the significance and role of this route, people from Chau Thai commune strongly supported the land clearance work, many households were willing to donate land to build the road.

It is expected that this route will be put into use by the end of 2024, contributing to the socio-economic development of the southwestern communes of Quy Hop district such as Chau Cuong, Chau Thai, Chau Ly, Chau Quang communes, Quy Hop town...
