Previously, Ninh Binh voters reported that the North-South expressway section passing through Quang Son commune, Tam Diep city (4 lanes) has been accepted and put into use since the end of 2023.
However, due to the narrow road surface, traffic accidents often occur.
The above highway section also does not have a water collection system along both sides of the route, so when it rains heavily for a long time, the drainage system overflows into people's agricultural land, causing flooding.
Voters proposed expanding the highway surface to ensure traffic safety; building a water collection system along both sides of the highway.
Responding to voters, the Ministry of Transport said: The North-South Expressway, East section, Cao Bo - Mai Son, 15km long, has been invested by the Ministry of Transport with a scale of 4 lanes, 17m wide, to be completed and put into operation at the end of 2023.
To meet the increasing transportation demand and improve traffic safety, the Ministry of Transport has reported to the competent authority and approved the investment project to expand the North-South expressway in the East, Cao Bo - Mai Son section from 4 limited lanes to 6 complete lanes (width 32.25m).
The project will start construction in the first quarter of 2025 and will be basically completed in 2026. The project has considered building a water collection system along both sides of the route as recommended by voters, ensuring drainage capacity and not affecting people's lives.
