Vinh City residents upset because inner city roads are damaged again after being repaired

Nguyen Thuc Tu Street is a road located in Vinh Tan Ward, Vinh City, connecting Cao Xuan Huy Street to Vinh River. It is an inner-city road but has been continuously damaged and degraded over time, causing frustration among residents.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, a resident on this street, said: Nguyen Thuc Tu Street has a large volume of traffic every day, but it is damaged in many places. I have witnessed many people falling off their bikes and having their vehicles scraped here, especially on rainy days. It is unacceptable that inner-city roads are worse than rural roads in the countryside.

According to the reporter's observations, Nguyen Thuc Tu Street is full of potholes, the road surface is peeling and eroded, on rainy days large puddles appear, most appearing at about 200 meters from the intersection with Cao Xuan Huy Street. The drainage system on both sides of the road is also damaged, water stagnates when it rains.

Mr. Nguyen Ba Hung - Head of Cong Hoa Block, Vinh Tan Ward said: Nguyen Thuc Tu Street is the most degraded road passing through the block. The main reason for the severe damage to the road is due to the heavy traffic volume every day, especially the large trucks and containers that continuously enter. In the block meetings, this is an urgent issue that people have repeatedly reported, we have also proposed to the ward and city but so far the road has not been upgraded.

Faced with this situation, over the years, residents living on Nguyen Thuc Tu Street have had to contribute their own money to buy materials and rent machinery to repair and renovate the road. There were times when they had to work all night because people still traveled during the day. However, after a short time, the road was as dilapidated as before.

Discussing this issue, Mr. Hoang Manh Cuong - Vice Chairman of Vinh Tan Ward People's Committee said: The problem of Nguyen Thuc Tu Street's deterioration has been reported to the local government by the people and in fact, the ward has previously repaired and patched up this section of the road depending on the conditions. However, up to now, the road surface is still damaged, especially the intersection with Cao Xuan Huy Street.

Currently, the ward has conducted a survey, included this road in the public investment plan and strives to repair and upgrade it by 2025, ensuring safety for people traveling as well as the lives of people on this road.
