Accordingly, voters commented that some sections of the Ho Chi Minh Highway through Phuoc Son District have degraded condition, some sections have sharp curves and are out of sight, which can easily cause accidents. “In addition, some sections are under repair but there are no warning signs, no guides, while the number of vehicles is very large, posing a potential risk of traffic safety (ATGT). We request that solutions to ensure ATGT be implemented” - voters reflected.

The Minister of Transport said that the Ho Chi Minh road through Phuoc Son district is 54.25km long (km1353-km1407+595), the road surface structure is mainly made of cement concrete, invested in construction and handed over for use since 2004. Currently, there have been local damages, cracks, and broken corners of cement concrete pavement slabs, causing some sections to deteriorate.

To deal with the damage, every year, the Ministry of Transport has allocated funds to periodically repair severely damaged cement concrete pavement sections; and to regularly manage, maintain, and repair slightly damaged cement concrete slabs. From 2023 to now, the Ministry of Transport has allocated VND 83.6 billion to implement repair projects on this section.

During the process of management, exploitation and monitoring of potential traffic accident locations, the review and handling of "black spots" and potential traffic accident locations are carried out according to regulations. At the same time, the traffic safety system is repaired and supplemented. The above projects with the solution of replacing damaged cement concrete slabs with asphalt concrete mats, supplementing and strengthening the warning system (tire wall guardrails, raising the soft guardrail from 1 floor to 2 floors...) have created convenience and improved traffic safety for people and vehicles participating in traffic.

During the construction of repair projects, the road management agency directed the patrol force of the Regional Road Management Office and the supervision consultant to closely monitor traffic safety work, and fully arrange warning systems according to approved documents and construction permits.
