Shabby Highway 48C corridor?
(Baonghean) - In early 2011, good news came to the people of Western Nghe An, the road connecting National Highway 7 and National Highway 48 was named National Highway 48C by the Ministry of Transport. Accordingly, this road starts from Sang Le intersection with National Highway 48 in Tam Hop commune (Quy Hop), and ends at National Highway 7 in Tam Quang commune (Tuong Duong). The total length of the route is 123.1 km and will be assigned to the Vietnam Road Administration for management, operation and maintenance.

Converting the routes connecting the districts of Western Nghe An into National Highway 48C will solve the problems of ensuring continuous management and operation without affecting traffic on the route. There would be nothing to discuss if we did not actually see the current situation on this route. It is not difficult to realize that the traffic corridor is becoming extremely shabby and seriously encroached!
How to dodge?
Is it because the mindset of "our own road" is deeply ingrained in the subconscious or because of the situation of "no one cries for public property" that the work of propaganda, mobilization, and establishment of traffic order on this route has long been neglected?
Everyone is busy, in many sections people have set up shops right at the edge of the asphalt, many houses have built wooden fences from the edge of the road and surrounded it to form gardens to grow vegetables. More dangerously, in many narrow sections of road, the shops on both sides of the road have put up service advertising signs right on the asphalt. As for the cases of dumping construction materials, firewood... right on the asphalt road, there are countless!
The traffic corridor is seriously encroached, so traffic accidents on this route often occur. Just counting the route in Quy Hop area, there have been dozens of deaths in the recent past?!
I think it is time for the management unit and local authorities to "sit down" and discuss solutions to restore order to the traffic corridor on this route. Can't we just let a road with a shabby corridor continue? Can't we let more unjust deaths happen because the traffic corridor is being encroached upon indiscriminately like now!
