Roads seriously degraded, people upset

(Baonghean.vn) - People in Dien Yen commune (Dien Chau) are upset because Highway 205 running through the commune is seriously degraded.

However, over the past 2 years, Highway 205 through the commune has seriously degraded, causing public outrage.

Road 205 is an inter-district road connecting communes of Dien Chau district with Do Thanh commune of Yen Thanh district, then intersecting National Highway 48 to Quynh Giang commune of Quynh Luu district, connecting with National Highway 1A. The road is important in socio-economic development, as well as ensuring national security and defense.

Route 205, the section passing through Dien Yen commune, is about 2km long. Initially, only about 200m of the damaged section adjacent to National Highway 48 was damaged. After receiving feedback from local people, the local authorities poured graded rock and rolled it back, creating favorable conditions for people to travel and trade at the nearby market.

This is an important route with large traffic volume.

However, recently, this road has shown signs of rapid deterioration, with deep potholes all over the road. In some places, large ponds have formed, taking up the entire road, making it extremely dangerous for people to travel.

When it rains, the road is muddy and muddy, and when it is sunny, it is dusty. The lives of people along both sides of this road are severely affected, every house is tightly closed to prevent dust from entering.

According to local residents, the reason for the road deterioration is that it was built a long time ago. In recent times, due to the large number of vehicles passing by, trucks carrying soil, rocks, etc. have been passing by, causing the road to deteriorate more and more.

In addition, due to poor drainage system, every time it rains, water cannot drain, causing the asphalt road to peel off and deteriorate day by day.

People hope to soon have funds to upgrade and renovate roads to create favorable conditions for people to travel conveniently.

Ms. DTC, a resident living right next to this road, said: Households living along both sides of the road like us are greatly affected. During the rainy season, the road is flooded, and during the dry season, it is dusty. We only hope that the authorities will soon upgrade it to create favorable conditions for people to travel.

The leader of Dien Yen Commune People's Committee said that, besides having a social significance, Route 205 is also part of the Rescue Road project from Dien Hai to Dien Thinh, Dien Chau District. However, due to the current difficulty of the State budget, the road cannot be rebuilt, so there are only temporary measures to fix the severely damaged areas to help people travel more easily.
