Provincial People's Committee responds to voters' petitions on traffic safety on Vinh - Cua Lo Avenue
(Baonghean.vn) - Voters in Nghi Phong commune, Nghi Loc district reported that Highway 535 and Vinh - Cua Lo Boulevard have many unsafe intersections, causing many traffic accidents. They requested the Provincial People's Committee to direct inspection and handling.
Reply:
The Vinh - Cua Lo traffic project (phase 1) has not been fully invested (only 02 9m wide service roads have been invested on both sides). Along the entire route, 26 cross-roads have been built, of which 10 cross-roads cross Nghi Phong commune, Nghi Loc district.
These level crossings are basically connected to the existing road to ensure convenience for people to travel across the route. On the connecting level crossings, speed bumps and a full system of paint and warning signs are arranged. However, the existence of many level crossings will cause conflicts, potentially causing traffic insecurity as voters have reported.

Up to now, the project has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee for investment in phase 2 construction. This phase has been fully invested, some residential level crossings will be removed and only 07 level crossings will remain.
For the section through Nghi Phong commune, only 02 level crossings will be arranged at Km3+500 (road to the War Invalids Camp) and Km4+960 (road to Nghi Phong Commune People's Committee), and 01 median strip opening point at Km6+020.
Currently, the Department of Transport (Project Investor) is directing contractors to speed up the progress, and the level crossings outside the approved design documents are being gradually eliminated.
Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee hopes to receive the consensus of the people to create favorable conditions during the construction process to soon complete and put the project into operation.
