On November 29, Mr. Nguyen Khac Viet - Executive Director of the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway Project said that the unit is implementing solutions to completely overcome the situation of flooding during heavy rain at km215 on the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway.
This location is through Ham Liem commune, Lam Dong province.
The construction unit reinforced the positive slope with concrete. Accordingly, the excavator leveled the slope. After that, workers deployed the steel frame and poured fresh concrete.
On the other hand, this package also implements the construction of drainage ditches. A vertical ditch will be dug on the top of the positive slope and about 700m down.
This ditch is responsible for directing water flows from the outside, especially from people's land, leading water in a safe direction, avoiding overflowing onto the road surface.
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that since the beginning of September 2025, the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway has repeatedly recorded flooding at km215.
Rainwater and sand from people's land poured onto the road through the slope when it rained heavily, causing the road surface to be flooded many times.
The project management board and local authorities and the route management unit have repeatedly surveyed and proposed solutions.
The Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway is over 100km long, part of the North - South Expressway in the East, exploited since May 2023. The route consists of 4 lanes, with a maximum speed of 90 km/h, and a total investment of 11,500 billion VND.
This is an important traffic axis that helps shorten travel time from Phan Thiet to Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City, reducing the load on National Highway 1.
