On September 29, the representative of the HCM City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (Traffic Board) said that the damage on La Xuan Oai and Lo Lu roads due to the impact of the Tang Long bridge construction area has been repaired.

Previously, from around the beginning of September, due to the impact of prolonged rain for many days, the existing La Xuan Oai road did not have a drainage system, leading to stagnant water causing damage to the road surface.

Specifically, the sidewalk of La Xuan Oai from the intersection of D2 High-Tech Park Road to Tang Long Bridge has deep holes, the asphalt concrete road surface is damaged, causing unsafety.

In addition, from Lo Lu intersection to Tang Long bridge, construction vehicles carrying materials in and out have dropped soil, causing the road surface to be flooded.

In addition, at the intersection of La Xuan Oai - Lo Lu, the construction unit pumped water onto the existing road surface, causing frequent congestion during rush hour.

Many people have expressed their anger to the Thu Duc City Technical Infrastructure Development Center about the above situation.

The Traffic Department said that when the incident was discovered, they patched it with stones but could not lay asphalt due to continuous heavy rain, resulting in the road surface not meeting operating requirements.

Currently, the Traffic Department has paved the road surface with asphalt concrete to ensure safety.

In addition, for the area from Vo Nguyen Giap Street to Tang Long Bridge, the Traffic Committee has requested the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport to approve traffic organization for vehicles to move to the new road section to close the old road to serve the construction of the left branch road at the beginning of the bridge.

For the culvert location across Lo Lu intersection, because the intersection is the lowest elevation, the amount of water on Lo Lu street accumulates, causing sand and soil to accumulate. The Traffic Department has dug a temporary ditch to drain the water and completely restore the road surface.
