“Suffocating” with coastal village roads in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Narrow, muddy, degraded... are the main current conditions of village roads in the coastal communes of Nghe An, making traffic difficult and people's lives miserable.

| The coastal communes of Nghe An have in common the narrow roads, limited land fund while the high population density causes houses to be built close together like a city, affecting traffic and planning.

| The roads in Nghi Thiet commune are extremely difficult to travel on, with some sections only wide enough for a motorbike. Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, a resident of Chua 1 hamlet, sighed: "For decades, we have had to travel on these narrow roads..." Photo: Quang An |

| At a 3-way intersection in Dinh hamlet, Nghi Thiet commune, motorbikes have to honk continuously and signal to give way because vehicles cannot pass through at the same time. There have been many accidents because people cannot control their speed when coming to these intersections. Photo: Quang An |

| Mr. Bui Van Thanh - Chairman of Nghi Thiet Commune People's Committee shared: Currently, the commune has only achieved 10/19 NTM criteria, in which the traffic criterion is considered the most difficult. To have standard roads, it is necessary to re-plan, relocate people, clear land, compensate for land... this is impossible when the commune does not have reserve land. People still have to travel on narrow and messy roads. Photo: Quang An |

| Village roads in the coastal area of Dien Chau are also cramped and shabby. In the photo: The road connecting Trung Thanh hamlet to Hong Yen hamlet, Dien Ngoc commune (Dien Chau) is narrow and has not been concreted. Photo: Quang An |

| Even the road from Hai Bac hamlet to Quyet Thanh hamlet in Dien Bich commune is still a dirt road; it often gets muddy when it rains. Photo: Quang An |

| According to Mr. Le The Hieu - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dien Chau district: The roads in coastal communes are often cramped and narrow. The reason is that the land fund is limited, while the population is large, with a population density of up to 1,000 people/km2.2. In addition, re-planning coastal traffic is extremely difficult. Most coastal communes have not yet reached the NTM target and the traffic criteria are still the most difficult. Photo: Quang An |
