Quy Hop voters propose building a drainage ditch on Provincial Road 532

Reply

Provincial Road 532 is 28.5 km long, of which 17 km from Km0 - Km17 was converted from a district road to a provincial road according to Decision No. 5394/QD-UBND dated November 1, 2016 of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee.

The current status of the section from Km0 - Km17 at the time of handover to the provincial road was damaged and degraded. For the old section from Km17-Km28+500, due to being invested and built a long time ago, in addition to serving the people's travel, the road also serves the transportation of stone from the mines on both sides of the route. Therefore, currently, the road has many sections of the road surface that are degraded and need to be repaired, and the traffic safety and drainage systems are not synchronized (including reinforced earthen ditches and trapezoidal open ditches).

Particularly, the section passing through the center of Chau Hong commune that voters reported has about 1,050m of reinforced trapezoidal open ditch, the rest has no ditch.

Recently, the Department of Transport has directed the management unit to strengthen regular maintenance, improve the route, repair damaged items, and add signs to ensure traffic safety.

During 2017 - 2020, the Department of Transport repaired sections Km8 - Km10+500, Km7 - Km9+170, Km0+552 - Km4+500, Km9+790 - Km11+900, Km7 - Km8+340, Km8+773 - Km9+160, Km16+500 - Km17, and spillways on the route with a total investment of 12.8 billion VND. In 2021, the repair of section Km0+550 - Km4+500 with a total investment of 7 billion VND has been completed.

Due to the difficulty in funding for management and maintenance, while Provincial Road 532 still has many sections of road surface that have degraded and are seriously damaged and need to be repaired, the Department of Transport has recently prioritized repairing the road surface and damaged construction items, and adding culverts across the road to ensure traffic safety, so there is no funding to invest in the synchronous construction of a longitudinal ditch system along the route, including the section through the center of Chau Hong commune.

Solutions in the future:

+ In the immediate future, direct the management unit to strengthen the work of dredging longitudinal ditches, and at the same time dig earth ditches for sections without ditches to ensure drainage along the entire route; including the section through the center of Chau Hong commune.

+ Continue to coordinate with relevant sectors to advise the Provincial People's Committee to pay attention and arrange funds to fix and repair damages and invest in building a longitudinal ditch system on the route (for necessary sections).
