How is the Đà Nẵng – Quảng Ngãi highway doing now?
Since its completion, the Đà Nẵng – Quảng Ngãi highway has significantly reduced travel time between the areas it passes through. Additionally, it has relieved traffic congestion on National Highway 1A.
Moreover, the endpoint of the highway, located in Nghĩa Kỳ, Tư Nghĩa, Quảng Ngãi, promises investment opportunities and international transportation connections for the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia economic triangle. The highway also ensures emergency relief for residents in areas prone to storms and floods.
However, shortly after its opening, the highway experienced several incidents and damages. Specifically, from October 2018, the road surface between Km0 and Km65 exhibited signs of cracking and potholes. In addition, in October, 21 bridges along the route suffered from water leakage from the median strip to bridge abutments and water infiltration from stormwater drains. At the end of November 2018, the road surface connected to some of the bridges showed signs of wave formation and cracks.
In 2019, the Ministry of Transport requested the Vietnam Expressway Corporation to coordinate with contractors to carry out repairs and rectifications. However, currently, the Đà Nẵng – Quảng Ngãi highway is again facing new damages, including areas that were previously repaired.
