Overcoming flooding on National Highway 1A from Tay Ninh to the border of Ho Chi Minh City

National Highway 1A, from Tay Ninh Province Martyrs' Cemetery (Long An Ward) to the border of Ho Chi Minh City, experiences localized water stagnation during heavy rain.

The cause of this situation is that households along the route dump garbage and sand into the ditches; some of the drainage outlets across the canal have been filled and silted up by people.

That is one of the contents raised by the Ministry of Construction in a document sent to the National Assembly Delegation of Tay Ninh province in response to the petition of local voters.

To overcome the above situation, the Ministry of Construction said that it has directed the route management unit to strengthen the dredging of the drainage system; promptly arrange funds to repair the road surface and drainage system at urgent locations. The estimated budget for 2026 is 105 billion VND.

The cause of local flooding on the route during heavy rain is determined to be garbage and sand blocking the drainage ditches.

The Ministry of Construction also requested the National Assembly Delegation of Tay Ninh province to give opinions so that the Provincial People's Committee can have a plan to restore the horizontal drainage canals that have been filled by people, and dredge the discharge gates to the inner-field canals to ensure drainage on this route.

Also in the document responding to the opinions of Tay Ninh voters, the Ministry of Construction said that in 2026, it is expected to allocate about 68.5 billion VND to upgrade and repair National Highway N2 through the province; at the same time, it directed the My Thuan Project Management Board to complete the Pre-Feasibility Study Report of the North-South Expressway Construction Project in the West, Duc Hoa - My An section, to implement investment in the 2026 - 2030 period.
