On September 28, the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province informed that Mr. Tran Hoang Tuan - Permanent Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province has just reported the results of handling and responding to voters' petitions.
Accordingly, voters of Son Ha district and voters of Tinh Giang commune, Son Tinh district proposed to build a bridge across Thach Nham junction to ensure traffic for the three districts of Son Ha, Tu Nghia, and Son Tinh.
In the above report, Mr. Tran Hoang Tuan said that currently, the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board has proposed the DT.623B bridge and road project (Quang Ngai - Thach Nham) through Thach Nham dam with a total investment of 350 billion VND in the 5-year medium-term public investment plan 2026-2030, as a basis for the Provincial People's Committee to consider and arrange capital for implementation in the coming time.
According to the reporter's records, over the past decades, every time there has been a prolonged heavy rain, the water level on the Tra Khuc River has risen, causing the Thach Nham spillway connecting Tu Nghia and Son Ha districts to be flooded. Although the authorities have set up checkpoints at the two Thach Nham spillway points in Tu Nghia and Son Ha, and posted signs prohibiting all vehicles and people from passing through the spillway. However, due to subjectivity, many people still waded through the Thach Nham spillway and were swept away by floodwaters, causing their deaths. Therefore, the construction of the Thach Nham bridge is very urgent.
