Speaking to Giao Thong Newspaper, Mr. Pham Van Loan, Team Leader of the Phap Van - Cau Gie Expressway Maintenance Team, said that since yesterday evening (September 19), the floodwaters at Km 191+400 of the Phap Van - Cau Gie Expressway have completely receded.
The unit managing and operating the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway is implementing the construction of a flood barrier system.
According to Mr. Loan, immediately after the water receded, the inspection of the road surface structure was carried out urgently.
"Surveys show that, after a long period of deep flooding, the highway surface only has a few small potholes. The operating unit has thoroughly rectified this situation."
"With our responsibilities fulfilled, we will continue to monitor and assess the situation, ensuring smooth road surfaces for safe traffic flow," Mr. Loan said.
According to the operating unit's representative, in order to prevent similar highway flooding from occurring during storms, a water barrier system 0.85m high and approximately 400m long has been constructed at the location where the recent flooding occurred.
"In this section of the highway, the retaining wall is constructed from interconnected concrete blocks. A system to block water from entering the highway from the outside (using tarpaulins and sandbags) has also been established."
"With the support of the regional pumping station system, the risk of flooding on the highway will be prevented," Mr. Loan informed.
Previously, due to the heavy rain and flooding following Typhoon No. 3, from the morning of September 10th, water levels in the downstream area rose, causing flooding at Km 191+400 on the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway. At peak times, the deepest water level reached approximately 0.8m, while the lowest was around 0.15m.
