Deploying upgrading and repairing damaged and degraded roads in Nghia Dan

(Baonghean.vn)- Voters of Nghia Dan district petitioned that provincial roads 545 and 531 passing through Nghia Dan district have been degraded and severely damaged, hindering the circulation of goods and people's travel. They requested that the relevant agencies have solutions to upgrade and repair them promptly.

Regarding this issue, the competent authority responded as follows:

Provincial routes DT.531 and DT.545 (now National Highway 48D) are managed and exploited by Nghe An Department of Transport. The route passing through Nghia Dan district has the route Km1+500-Km83+200 (DT.531), Km0+00 - Km8+00 (QL48D).

These sections have a surface structure of crushed stone and asphalt. Recently, the Department of Transport has strengthened and focused on directing the implementation of maintenance management work, promptly repairing damages.

However, because the road was built a long time ago, the funding for road management and maintenance is limited, so currently some areas on the road have cracks, subsidence, and the road surface structure has peeled off.

To ensure convenient and safe exploitation and use of the route, in the coming time, the Provincial People's Committee will direct the Department of Transport to inspect and direct management units to regularly patch potholes and repair road surfaces... at locations that cause traffic safety problems; at the same time, work with the Ministry of Transport to arrange funding for road management and maintenance, as well as upgrade and repair the route.
