Particularly, the district has focused on optimising resources to develop the rural transport system, considering it a premise for building new-style rural areas. By the end of 2018, the district had five out of eight communes recognised as new-style rural area.

The rural transport system in Dan Ha commune (Ky Son district) has been upgraded to meet the travel and trading demand of locals.

Defining that developing rural transport system as one of the important factors promoting local socio-economic growth, over the years, Ky Son district has mobilised resources to invest in rural transport with an aim to concretise and complete the bridge and road system as well as roads connecting communes and towns. Thanks to the efforts of localities in constructing rural transport infrastructure, the rural face has been improved.

Statistics show that the total length of Ky Son roads is 239km, including 13.7km of concreted road; 68.9km of asphalt roads; 95.4km of cemented road; 52.7km of aggregate roads; and 5.54km of pathway.

In the 2011-2018 period, the district mobilised over 103 billion VND for road upgrading, including more than 7 billion VND from the central budget, and 46 billion VND of local budget, along with 6.8 billion VND mobilised from the community. In 2018, the district spent 7 billion VND to implement the second criteria of a new-style rural area in transport. By the end of 2018, the district has six communes completing the criteria.

According to Hoang Van Minh, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ky Son said that every year, the district launches a campaign to call for the whole community to engage in the construction of rural transport system.

The district has invested in maintaining and fixing roads in district, commune and village roads. The transport system in the locality has connected communes in the district as well as the district and other localities. The ratio of standardised and concreted district-level roads has reached 100 percent.

For localities that have completed the criteria in transport system, the district has asked them to regularly maintaining and restoring the roads, while adding road signs to ensure traffic safety.
