A rural road in Trung Tam hamlet, Trung Thanh commune. Da Bac district has invested in developing rural transport infrastructure in recent years.
The transportation infrastructure development in the district faces many difficulties because Da Bac is an upland district with hilly and mountainous terrains. In addition, the district is considered a hot spot for natural disasters, especially landslides during the rainy season which damage the local transportation system.
At present, Da Bac has a total of 1,317 km of roads, including 163.5 km of district roads, 128.7 km of communal roads, 453.62 km of hamlet and village roads, over 305 km of alleys, nearly 232 km of roads in production areas and field roads, and over 34 km of urban roads. However, there are still more than 254 km of roads with uneven surface.
The district has also 34 bridges and 32 spillways, with a total length of 627.5m, and 799m, respectively.
According to Dao Tien Quyet, Head of the economic – infrastructure division of Da Bac district, the technical conditions, structure, scale and ability of roads, bridges and spillways in the district basically meet the travel and goods transport demand of local residents.
However, due to the influence of rains and floods, some roads, bridges and tunnels in the locality have been damaged and degraded. The construction of a number of transport projects remains slow, significantly affecting the travel of people and vehicles.
To address these difficulties, the local authority has mobilised over 1 trillion VND (over 42.64 million USD) to invest in developing transport infrastructure. Since 2021, the district has focused on implementing a project to concrete rural transport roads in the 2021-2025 period.
Accordingly, the total budget for the project is over 2.25 trillion VND. As scheduled, 5 km of 12 transportation roads in the district are concreted.
So far, 4.2 km of rural roads in Dong Chum, Dong Ruong, Tan Minh, Giap Dat, Tien Phong, and Yen Hoa communes have been completed.
The district's authority has also accelerated the implementation of new-style rural area building movement. A total of nearly 408 billion VND was allocated to the locality to implement the criteria No. 2 on rural transport infrastructure development.
Accordingly, inter-village roads and over 40 km of hamlet roads in Tan Minh commune have been concreted. The district has also concentrated on preventing and overcoming consequences of natural disasters along roads, especially at weak bridges and spillways./.
