The coastal cross-road… is dead-end.

The coastal cross-axis road project through Dong Tien commune (Ha Tinh province) is expected to facilitate travel for people, contributing to promoting socio-economic development, investment, and sea tourism. However, the project has been under construction for a while and then stopped, unfinished for many years, both ends of the road are deadlocked (photo), causing waste.

Present at Dong Tien commune, we noted that the coastal cross-axis traffic project was paved with flat asphalt, clear for a nearly 1km long section through Dong Van village, the roadbed was about 7-8m wide, with painted lines between the two lanes, the sidewalks on both sides were paved with bricks and traffic signs were installed... However, because the project had stopped construction for a long time, both ends of this road section were dead-end, not connected to any other traffic axis.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thuan (born in 1962, Head of Dong Van village) said that the coastal cross-road traffic project connecting the three communes of Thach Van, Thach Tri, Thach Hoi (now merged into Dong Tien commune) and some neighboring communes, was implemented from 2022, with an investment capital of billions of VND. However, from 2023, when a nearly 1km section through Dong Van village was completed, the project stopped.

“At meetings with voters, people have petitioned authorities and investors to allocate funds to continue the construction and completion of this road, but so far there have been no results,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Thuan.

Mr. Nguyen Van Huyen, Chairman of Dong Tien Commune People's Committee, informed that recently, the locality has conducted a survey of the coastal cross-road project through Dong Van village and has reported and proposed that the authorities consider investing funds (estimated at about 8.5 billion VND) to construct the connecting section from the dead-end point to Thach Hoi. For the road section to the North, there are some problems in the planning, so the locality proposed that the province and the authorities soon arrange funds to complete the remaining items to synchronize with other infrastructures.
