Upgrading and repairing provincial road 537B in time before the storm season

(Baonghean.vn) - After receiving reports that provincial road 537B through Quynh Luu district is seriously degraded, Nghe An Department of Transport has directed construction units to repair and upgrade to ensure traffic safety before the rainy and stormy season.

Provincial Road 537B has a total length of about 8km, connecting Quynh Ba Commune (Quynh Luu) to Lach Con Port, Quynh Phuong Ward (Hoang Mai Town). Due to the long construction period and the heavy traffic volume, in the past 2 years, this road has seriously degraded with a damaged length of more than 3km. The road surface is full of "potholes"; after the rain, the damaged sections turn into ponds, posing a danger to road users.
