Previously, the two routes from National Highway 15A to Mo Da dam, block 1 and Hoc Noc dam in block 2 of Tan Ky town were narrow dirt roads, making it difficult for people to travel. But for nearly a month now, both of these routes have been widened and paved with smooth concrete. This is because the locality has attracted investment projects, especially nearly 70 households living on both sides of the road who agreed to donate nearly 15,000 m²garden land and property for local road opening.

Typically, in hamlet 1, there are 2 households: Hoang Trong Tai donated over 3,000 m²Land, Mr. Nguyen Van Minh donated over 2,000 m²land.

Mr. Dau Truong Son - Chairman of Tan Ky Town People's Committee said: 2 residential roads have just been expanded, poured concrete into Mo Da dam, block 1 and Hoc Noc dam block 2 with a length of nearly 3.5 km, total investment of more than 15 billion VND. To make a 7m wide road surface, poured concrete 4m wide, people donated tens of thousands of m²garden land and thousands of trees, along with many other ancillary works.
