Many roads along Muong Cui canal are damaged and do not ensure traffic safety.
The Muong Cui Canal Renovation Project started in May 2023 and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2024. The Can Tho City Development and Urban Resilience Project is invested by the Can Tho City ODA Project Management Board. Currently, many people living along the Muong Cui Canal have to live in extremely difficult conditions because the roads are damaged and dusty, affecting their daily lives.
Mr. Trang Hoang Vu in area 6 said: “Previously, the concrete road along Muong Cui canal was 3-4m wide, flat and easy to travel. From May 2023 to now, the construction unit has brought equipment and machinery to renovate Muong Cui canal, causing the concrete road to be damaged, the road surface has collapsed in some sections, making it unsafe for travel.”
The construction unit has implemented the concrete embankment on both sides of Muong Cui canal, and railings along both sides of the embankment. However, the construction has been haphazard and has been stopped for more than a year now. According to residents of area 6, previously, domestic water and rainwater both drained into Muong Cui canal. The construction unit on both sides of Muong Cui canal has blocked the flow, causing rainwater and domestic water to have no way out, stagnant, causing pollution.
Mr. Trang Hoang Vu said: “Before the construction unit renovated Muong Cui canal, this area did not have any flooding. For the past 2 years, people have had to live in a polluted environment, with stagnant water and a foul smell. I request that the construction unit of Muong Cui canal must find a solution to overcome and end the pollution.”
Similarly, at the Nga Bat canal renovation project, the construction unit used mechanical vehicles to dredge the canal bed, drive piles and pour concrete to build embankments on both sides of the canal, then stopped construction until now. Mr. Tran Ngoc Lanh in area 6, was upset: “Before the Nga Bat canal renovation project, the 3m traffic route along this canal was flat and convenient for travel. In 2023, the construction unit used mechanical vehicles to run on the concrete road, causing the road surface to collapse and tilt for more than 10m, making it dangerous for travel. In July 2024, the Nga Bat canal construction unit withdrew from the project, so people do not know when the above road will be repaired.”
Currently, people buy bricks and crushed stones to patch and upgrade the road surface, limit flooding... In the long term, people in area 6 recommend that the authorities intervene soon, forcing the construction unit to reinforce, repair, and restore the original state of the traffic route along Nga Bat canal.
Mr. Mai Van Hung, Party Cell Secretary, Head of Area 6, informed: “Currently, in the area, there are Muong Cui canal, Nga Bat canal, Dau Sau canal, Xeo Nhum canal being constructed by units. During the construction process, the construction units are driving and removing steel piles, digging soil, moving construction equipment, causing damage, subsidence, and landslides on the traffic routes along the canals. People are very upset when the units stop construction and withdraw from the construction site at the end of June 2024, the construction site is very messy”.
“In the short term, I would like to request the project investor and relevant authorities to find solutions to overcome the problem of flooding and degraded roads so that people can travel and live more conveniently. In the long term, I would like to continue implementing projects to renovate unfinished canals and ditches to complete the works soon, contributing to ensuring a living environment for people and ensuring urban aesthetics,” said Mr. Mai Van Hung.
