Dangerous "traps" on the Chieu Luu - Bao Thang route (Ky Son)
(Baonghean.vn) - The 27km long road connecting Chieu Luu and Bao Thang communes in Ky Son district is in a state of disrepair. In particular, some sections have serious landslides, posing a danger to people and vehicles traveling on this route.

| Xieng Thu - Bao Thang road is a vital route connecting two communes of Ky Son mountainous district, Chieu Luu and Bao Thang. The road was constructed from 2007 and completed in 2012 with a capital of over 200 billion VND. |
 |
| This is the only road for people in Bao Thang commune to go to Chieu Luu commune and other district and town centers of Nghe An province. The road is more than 27km long, designed according to the standard of level VI mountainous area, design load: H13-XB360, roadbed width is 6m, road surface is 3.5m wide, sidewalk is 1.25x2m wide. |
 |
| Currently, this route is seriously degraded, especially some sections such as km 4, 6, 7... are suffering from extremely serious landslides. Many landslides have caused the entire roadway to sink more than 30 cm. |
 |
| There are cracks on the road that are more than 20 cm wide. According to the Economic and Infrastructure Department of Ky Son district, the road is currently managed by Chieu Luu and Bao Thang communes. The department has also reported the landslides to the Department of Transport since the landslides first occurred. |
 |
| There are many potholes along the route. Mr. Cut Van May, Chieu Luu commune, said that many sections of the road have sunk, making it very difficult for people to travel. If the cracks are not repaired promptly, it will greatly affect the life of the road. |
 |
| Both sides of the road were almost buried in rocks and soil and cracked due to floods. |
 |
| The section across the spillway bridge at km 04, the landslide has eaten into nearly half of the roadway with a large hole. It is worth mentioning that at the landslide section, there are no signs to guide or warn traffic participants. |
 |
| Below the concrete road at km 04, the rain and floods caused erosion deep into the road like a trap in the middle of the route. In addition to serving the people of Ky Son district, the road also helps people of Luong Minh commune, Tuong Duong district to travel here. The serious deterioration of the road, the lack of timely repair and the lack of warning signs are causing hidden dangers for people and vehicles traveling on this route. |
