Repairing seriously degraded DT.729 road

Accordingly, on the afternoon of August 7, the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province mobilized machinery and equipment to the area of provincial road DT.729. This morning, vehicles began to level the mud on the road surface, and began to pour soil and rock to fill the "potholes" in a section of Tan Ha village. However, in the afternoon of the same day, heavy rain continued, so the repair work had to be temporarily suspended to wait for sunny weather to return before continuing the repair.

It is expected that after leveling the mud, the units will fill the material and compact it to ensure safety for vehicles participating in traffic. For weak, sunken roadbeds and “potholes”, rocks will be poured to reinforce the foundation.

Ta Nang Commune People's Committee said that regarding the cost of road repair, the locality mobilized from socialized sources as well as mobilized support from businesses and organizations in the area. Particularly, the Department of Construction will undertake the equipment, machinery, construction workers and road repair.

As Lam Dong Electronic Newspaper reported in the article “The provincial road is dusty in the sun and muddy in the rain, making it difficult for the commune’s people to travel”, the DT.729 road through Ta Nang commune is about 15 km long, passing through the villages of Tan Ha, To Mrang and Cho Rung, but about 7 km is seriously degraded, greatly affecting the daily life and production of 430 households with about 1,800 people living along the road.

Chairman of Ta Nang Commune People's Committee Nguyen Vu Linh Sang said that according to the resolution on the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026 - 2030 issued by the People's Council of the old Lam Dong province on December 10, 2024, the DT.729 road was assigned to be newly built connecting Lam Dong province with Binh Thuan province (old) with a length of 50.2 km, grade IV mountainous road gauge. Of which, 18 km were newly built, nearly 19 km were upgraded and 13.4 km were invested with a total construction capital of 850 billion VND.

By June 2025, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee had decided to invest in the project to build DT.729 route with a length of 25.8 km, of which about 10.7 km will be newly built and 15.1 km will be upgraded and expanded. The project, implemented in the period of 2025 - 2028, will be synchronously connected with National Highway 28B.
