Determined to underground the cable line.

In the past, despite the efforts of relevant departments and agencies to tidy up and bundle telecommunication cables along roads, the reality of tangled cables resembling a "spiderweb" and "perched" on utility poles remains quite common, detracting from urban aesthetics, posing a fire hazard, and affecting production, business activities, and people's lives.

• A modern and civilized city.

In response to this situation, the Provincial People's Committee has recently developed a plan to underground telecommunications cables throughout the province by 2030. The goal is to underground and reorganize telecommunications cable routes, including fiber optic, copper, information, and television cables, to ensure safety for people and vehicles traveling on the roads; minimize technical infrastructure incidents in electricity transmission and communication within the province; ensure aesthetics and environmental protection, especially in urban areas; and contribute to building clean, beautiful, and civilized streets.

According to the relevant authorities, it is projected that from 2025 to 2030, approximately 292 km of urban roads in the province will have their telecommunications cables undergrounded. Nearly 50 km will be undergrounded in 2025 alone, specifically on Hung Vuong, Tran Hung Dao, Ngo Quyen streets, central city roads, and urban areas in districts and towns.

Previously, in June 2021, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 1161 approving the Project for Undergrounding Technical Infrastructure Works in Urban Areas of Ca Mau Province. Specifically, the 2021-2025 period will involve investment in underground technical trenches, cable conduits, transformer stations, and power lines, with a budget of over 163 billion VND. Of the total investment of over 296 billion VND for the 2026-2030 period, 78 billion VND will come from the state budget, and the remainder (over 218 billion VND) will come from organizations, businesses, and other legitimate sources of funding.

The Minh Thang residential area (Ward 9) has undergrounded its electrical and fiber optic cable systems, creating a spacious and aesthetically pleasing urban landscape, and is particularly conducive to the development of urban green spaces.

Although bundled together, the fiber optic cable hangs too low, posing a risk of damage from dry grass fires and danger to residents who need to use the land below... (Photo taken on Huynh Thuc Khang street, Ward 7).

The cable car system on the "tree-side power pole" poses a safety risk. (Photo taken on Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Ward 7).

The cable is too heavy and hangs down to the road surface, requiring temporary supports, which is both unsafe and unsightly. (Photo taken in front of Quang Tien Construction Co., Ltd., Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Ward 8).
