The 'ruined' road in the heart of Vinh city
(Baonghean.vn) - Although it is an inner-city road with a large number of people and vehicles passing by every day, Nguyen Gia Thieu Street, Hung Dung Ward, Vinh City has been degraded for many years, causing danger to traffic participants and urban beauty.
Every day, Mrs. Truong Thi Lien, Hung Dung Ward, Vinh City often takes her grandchild to Hung Dung Kindergarten, located on Nguyen Gia Thieu Street. Every time she travels on this road, Mrs. Lien has to cycle very slowly, especially on rainy days because there have been many accidents and collisions on this road.
“This Nguyen Gia Thieu street has been degraded for about 3 years now, it is very dangerous, on sunny days it is dusty due to the large number of vehicles, on rainy days the potholes create puddles in the middle of the road, people have to walk on the edge of the road to avoid accidents, sometimes cars passing by splashed and wet both grandmother and grandchild…” - Ms. Lien shared.
Not only Ms. Lien, but it is the frustration of hundreds of households living and doing business on this road as well as people who regularly have to travel here.
According to the reporter's records on the afternoon of April 10, Nguyen Gia Thieu Street, although only about 1km long, is full of damaged spots and potholes. The road surface has completely peeled off in many places, exposing large stones. On this road, there are schools, medical stations, businesses near Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, Nghe An Oncology Hospital... so the number of people going back and forth to school and work every day is very large.
Mr. Bach Hung Trien - Secretary of the Xuan Tien block Party cell, Hung Dung ward said: This can be considered one of the worst roads in Vinh city at the present time. My house is near this road so I have witnessed many accidents. At block meetings, this road is always a source of frustration for the people, people hope that the road will be repaired and upgraded...
It is known that the reason for Nguyen Gia Thieu Street's serious deterioration is that it has been in use for decades but has not been maintained. In addition, the drainage system on both sides of the road is not effective, often causing flooding during the rainy season.
In addition, according to observations, on this road, in addition to personal vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, bicycles, there are also other vehicles such as passenger cars, buses, trucks that often pass by. The increased traffic volume makes the already degraded road even more damaged.
Through discussion, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Khanh - Chairman of Hung Dung Ward People's Committee said: Nguyen Gia Thieu Street is currently the most degraded street in the ward and every year the people have also reflected a lot on this issue. The local government has made many recommendations to the city and the authorities, hoping to soon invest and upgrade this road to both reduce traffic accidents and ensure urban beauty in the inner city area.
