    In April 2025, the road surface is still dry but dust flies everywhere, soil and rocks are bumpy. By the beginning of 2026, after a long period of rain combined with the density of vehicles passing by, the road surface became muddy, road soil turned into loose mud.

    Every time a large truck passes by, dust rolls behind, and trees on both sides of the road cover a layer of white dust. When it rains, heavy trucks make the damage level of the road even more serious.
