Walking on the wide, flat, smooth road in front of his house, which has just been invested in under the model new rural construction program and put into use not long ago, Mr. Nguyen Van On in An Bien village, Vinh Hai commune said that people are very excited about the city's investment attention. Recently, the 7m wide road was completed with asphalt concrete. The road is not only wide and beautiful, but also has a sidewalk invested in ventilation, installed with lighting combined with planting trees to create a green, clean, and beautiful rural environment. Since the road was completed and put into use, people have been traveling conveniently.

In the western communes of Hai Phong , the appearance of rural traffic has also changed a lot. From village roads, alleys, hamlets to commune roads, inter-commune roads, and roads to fields serving production have all been invested synchronously, creating a "push" to promote production development.

Ms. Nguyen Thi He in Ninh Giang commune said that up to now, the rural transportation system in the commune from the village to the field has been invested synchronously, creating favorable conditions for people to travel, promoting the development of local agricultural production. The routes to the commodity production areas where large-tonnage vehicles can go directly to the place to transport agricultural products, reducing the burden on people according to the previous traditional method.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, implementing the national target program on new rural construction in the 2021-2025 period, the entire city has invested in repairing, upgrading, renovating and putting into use more than 1,773 km of rural roads of all kinds. Thanks to that, up to now, 100% of communes have met the criteria on traffic and irrigation.

Improve farmers' lives

Rural transport infrastructure has been invested in, contributing significantly to promoting local socio-economic development, creating a boost in agricultural production development. Up to now, in the communes, many specialized production areas have been formed on a large scale, with high economic value, generating an income of 300 - 500 million VND/ha/year; forming a number of chains linking production to product consumption, building quality product brands.

For example, onion and garlic growing areas in the wards of Kinh Mon, Tran Lieu, Bac An Phu, Nhi Chieu, Pham Su Manh, Nguyen Dai Nang and Nam An Phu commune... Thereby, contributing to increasing the income of rural people to an average of 80.56 million VND/person by 2024.
