On September 14, the People's Committee of Ham Thuan Nam district ( Binh Thuan ) sent a document to the Department of Transport, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Thang Long Project Management Board regarding the proposal to clear and dredge the Phan River section through Ham Thuan Nam district.
Previously, Ham Thuan Nam District People's Committee received a proposal document from Thang Long Project Management Board on clearing and dredging the Phan River from downstream of culvert K25+416 to downstream of Phan River bridge Km24+348, a component project for investment and construction of the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay section.
Through a field survey on August 30, the People's Committee of Ham Thuan Nam district recorded that the proposed section for clearing and dredging the Phan River is 1.5km long, and the width of the riverbed from both banks is about 25m.
The current status of the entire route planned for clearance and dredging is that there are 7 small islands in the middle of the river, on the islands there are many bamboo trees and bushes growing wildly. In addition, on both sides of the Phan River there are many bushes, bamboo and miscellaneous trees, thus seriously affecting the flow of the river.
Ham Thuan Nam District People's Committee requests that during the process of implementing the clearance and dredging of the riverbed, there must be no impact on the erosion of both sides of the river, affecting the agricultural land of the people. It is necessary to contact the local authorities to arrange a dumping site when dredging the islands in the middle of the river, and during the clearance process, if there are trees that are timber trees, it must be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Forestry Law.
Earlier on the morning of July 29, the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay expressway was deeply flooded at km25+416 through Binh Thuan province.
According to the Thang Long Project Management Board, the initial cause of the local flooding on the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay highway was due to heavy rain in a short period of time, the Phan River rose high, flowing back into the downstream of the Km25+419 culvert, combined with water from upstream not being able to drain through the culvert, overflowing onto the road surface.
The Ministry of Transport requires the investor to coordinate with the locality to clear obstacles on the Phan River bed to increase drainage capacity and lower the water level on the river through this section.
