Reviewing the management and use of road safety corridors

The Ministry of Construction has just issued a Directive to inspect and review the management and use of road safety corridors; measures to ensure fire prevention and fighting of road infrastructure in provinces and centrally run cities.

According to the Ministry of Construction, currently, regulations on the management and use of road safety corridors, road construction safety and measures to ensure fire prevention and fighting of road infrastructure have been fully regulated by the State in the 2024 Road Law, the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, the Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue and guiding documents under the Law.

However, the Ministry of Construction assessed that the management and use of road safety corridors in some localities in the recent past still had some shortcomings leading to risks of traffic safety and road safety; for example, the fire under Vinh Tuy bridge ( Hanoi city) that occurred on August 30, causing many vehicles to burn and potentially affecting the structure of Vinh Tuy bridge.

The use of road safety corridors in some localities in recent times still has many problems.

Therefore, the Ministry of Construction requests the Chairmen of the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to direct the review of all management and use of road safety corridors under their management; ensure that roads and sidewalks are not used for purposes contrary to the provisions of Decree 165/2024 of the Government .

Localities promptly handle cases of encroachment, occupation, and illegal use of road safety corridors and road land in violation of the law; take full responsibility if they allow them to exist in the management and use of road safety corridors and road land, threatening the safety of road works in the area, including the use of overpasses as illegal parking lots, causing fires related to road infrastructure such as the recent incident under Vinh Tuy bridge.

Provinces must develop plans to immediately relocate parking lots out of the protected area of road infrastructure (if any) before October 30, prioritizing investment in building parking lots that meet standards according to approved planning, meeting the needs of static traffic in urban areas.

The Ministry of Construction assigned the State Appraisal Department of Construction Quality to coordinate with specialized agencies of Hanoi city in organizing inspection and assessing the impact of the fire on the quality and operation of Vinh Tuy bridge; propose solutions (if necessary), report to the Ministry of Construction as a basis for coordination with the Hanoi People's Committee, and report to the Prime Minister on the implementation results before September 15...
