(Baonghean.vn) - After Nghe An Newspaper reported on the need for a solution to drain water and build a bridge across Huoi Com stream, Ky Son district directed the authorities to install additional pipes to increase the drainage capacity at this weak point.

Khe Huoi Com is the weakest point on the Muong Xen - Tay Son route. In the historic flood in October 2022, the drainage culvert in this culvert was washed away by water, completely cutting off the route. Ky Son district has rebuilt a temporary drainage culvert here, however, in reality, after heavy rains in early July, the drainage capacity of the culvert could not meet the demand, causing water to overflow onto the road through Son Ha, Hoa Son villages, Ta Ca commune and Muong Xen town like the flood last year.

After Nghe An Newspaper reflected on this problem in the article:"People in the flood-hit Ky Son area really need a bridge across Huoi Com and Ta Ca streams.", Ky Son district immediately implemented additional solutions to improve this weakness.

Accordingly, on the morning of July 16, the district directed the District Project Management Board to install an additional 12 meters of D1000 culvert at Huoi Com stream, running parallel to the old culvert, increasing drainage capacity, ensuring that when there is heavy rain or flood, water will flow through the culvert into the stream, not overflowing onto the road surface as in the past.

This is a necessary task, especially in the past few days when Ky Son district has had continuous heavy rains, while the Muong Xen - Tay Son road is still deteriorating and eroding. On both sides of the road, many households live next to landslides in temporary houses, which are very dangerous if water overflows.

However, the leader of Ky Son district said that this is only a temporary solution, because the extreme weather situation is still unpredictable, the appearance of large floods that can wash away these sewers is completely possible during the rainy and stormy season. Therefore, the district has sent an official dispatch to the Provincial People's Committee and relevant departments and agencies about repairing and upgrading the Muong Xen - Tay Son road after the recent flood, including a proposal to build a bridge over Huoi Com stream. However, due to lack of funding, the project has not been implemented, so it is necessary to install additional temporary sewers to temporarily drain water.

People in the flooded areas of Son Ha, Hoa Son, Ta Ca commune and Muong Xen town are still hoping for a bridge across Huoi Com stream to live in peace during the stormy season, especially at a time when there is no new resettlement site for displaced people.

The Muong Xen - Tay Son route was the most severely eroded point during the historic flood in October 2022. The route is about 12km long. The starting point is at Block 1, Muong Xen town (intersection with National Highway 7), through Son Ha and Hoa Son villages (Ta Ca commune); the end point is at Huoi Giang 3 village, Tay Son commune.

This is the main axis connecting from Muong Xen town to Tay Son commune. In the future, after the Na Ngoi - Tay Son inter-commune road is completed (currently under construction), it will form a continuous connecting axis from Muong Xen town to Ta Ca, Tay Son, Na Ngoi, Nam Can, Muong Ai, Muong Tip communes, serving people's travel, especially developing eco-tourism combined with high-tech agriculture for Ky Son district.
