On April 25, Mr. Le Thanh Huan, Deputy Director of the Department of Construction, said that the unit had sent a notice to agencies, units, organizations and individuals participating in traffic about the temporary suspension of cars passing through Bao Tron culvert (Tran Thoi commune, Cai Nuoc district). The reason is that the road section in this area has seriously eroded and needs to be urgently repaired to ensure traffic safety.

The road surface is seriously eroded and impassable.

According to Mr. Huan, on April 23, at the Bao Tron culvert area (Km7+200) on the Dam Doi - Cai Nuoc section, the road surface was cracked and collapsed, causing traffic insecurity. The Department of Construction conducted an inspection and initially determined that the cause was due to the rising and falling tides causing water to flow rapidly through the Bao Tron culvert, creating a strong vortex in the area in front of the culvert, eroding the soil at the foot of the reinforced concrete embankment (reinforced in 2015). The Department deployed barriers, warnings of danger, and at the same time directed temporary solutions to block the flow to limit the flow of water through the culvert to limit the vortex in the embankment area in front of the culvert.

“However, the work of temporarily blocking the flow through the culvert had not been completed, when at about 12:05 on April 24, 2025, the embankment road surface area on April 23, 2025 collapsed, more than half of the road surface collapsed towards the riverbank, making it impossible for cars to pass through this area,” Mr. Huan informed.

Based on the above reality, on the afternoon of April 24, the Department of Construction directed and completed the temporary blocking of the flow through Bao Tron culvert by using steel plates to cover both ends of the culvert and warning against car traffic, while coordinating with local authorities and functional forces to guide traffic flow for vehicles participating in traffic through the above road section.

It is known that this is an important route with high traffic density, connecting the center of Cai Nuoc district (Cai Nuoc town) and the communes of Tran Thoi and Dong Thoi to Dam Doi district with Cha La bridge over Bay Hap river.
