Lan Nong is isolated amidst the mountains and forests of Cai Kinh commune. The road leading to it has existed for a long time, but it is narrow, steep, and rocky, making travel very difficult. On rainy days, residents often have to park their vehicles in the Lang Hao area, in Lang Dam hamlet, Van Linh commune, and walk home. This poor transportation infrastructure affects the education of their children and the socio -economic development of the local people. The residential area currently has 13 households (with 62 people, all of whom are Nung ethnic minorities), of which 11 are poor and the remaining 2 are near-poor. Therefore, building a road to the residential area has been a long-held dream of the people here.
The road project leading to the Lan Nong residential area is 3.5km long, extending from the Lang Hao residential area in Lang Dam hamlet, Van Linh commune, to this residential point. It is being constructed by officers and soldiers from the Provincial Military Command, the 3rd Infantry Division, and the 575th Engineering Brigade of Military Region 1. Construction began in early March 2026. Currently, the forces are excavating and filling the roadbed.
Lieutenant Colonel Vu Hong Cuong, Assistant Engineer, 123rd Regiment, Provincial Military Command, and Deputy Commander of the project, said: "A total of 60 officers and soldiers were mobilized to participate in building the road to Lan Nong. We received enthusiastic support and assistance from the local people regarding accommodation. Currently, the force is staying at three locations: the former Lang Hao village cultural house, now Lang Dam village, Van Linh commune, and the homes of three surrounding households. During our stay here, we have instructed the officers and soldiers to maintain military discipline. The local people have lent us land to grow vegetables for supplementary farming, and they have also enthusiastically supported us with food and treated the soldiers like family."
Regarding road construction, the local people actively participated in supporting the work. Mr. Pham Van Tinh, representative of the Lan Nong residential area, shared: "We consider road construction as our own responsibility, readily donating land to prepare the site for the project. At the same time, during the construction process, everyone was willing to contribute labor, support logistics, and even provide machinery, tools, and equipment for the soldiers building the road. We only hope the road will be completed soon, fulfilling our aspirations for convenient travel, socio-economic development, and improved living standards."
In that spirit of solidarity, the construction of the road to Lan Nong has been filled with the warmth of the bond between the military and the people in recent days. The sounds of hoes and shovels, mixed with the noise of excavators, bulldozers, and drills, have made the atmosphere even more bustling and urgent. According to our findings, to date, the volume of earth excavated and filled for the road to Lan Nong is estimated at nearly 5,000 cubic meters of soil and rock, along a length of about 2 kilometers, reaching approximately 30% of the project's progress.
With the support of the local people, all levels and sectors from the province to the grassroots regularly pay attention to, inspect, encourage, and urge the construction force to speed up the progress.
Ms. Pham Ngoc Thuy, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairwoman of the People's Council of Cai Kinh commune, said: "Since the commencement of the road construction in Lan Nong residential area, Loi village, the commune has formed a working group three times to visit and encourage the officials and soldiers to overcome all difficulties to bring a new road to the people. We also encouraged local people to actively support and create the best conditions for the construction force to speed up the project."
The road to Lan Nong, scheduled for completion by the end of June 2026, will facilitate easier travel for local residents, creating favorable conditions for them to develop production and gradually improve their lives. More than just a transportation project, the road is a clear testament to the solidarity and close relationship between the military and the people. The days spent working together on the construction site have fostered trust and unity, contributing to the gradual transformation of Lan Nong towards a more stable and prosperous life.
