Van Son-Mien Doi road proves effective, contributing to socio-economic development in beneficiary communes.

 Some years ago, the provincial People’s Committee approved a Van Son-Mien Doi

road project with a total investment of 34.2 billion VND, in which 28 billion VND came from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s credit programme and 6.2 billion VND from the provincial budget. The road was designed to have the length of over 5km and width of 5m, and covered with three-layer asphalt, along with the roadsides, and the wastewater drainage and traffic safety systems. Construction on the road started in 2013, and the road was open to traffic in late June of 2016, meeting locals’ expectation of an easy road connecting Mien Doi and Van Son communes with the district centre as well as linking with the district’s transport system. This is a significant "gift” to disadvantageous localities like Van Son and Mien Doi communes.

Bui Van Quyet, police chief of Van Son commune, said that, since it was put into use, the road has contributed to changing the life of local people. The distance between the two communes and the district centre is shortened, and rural infrastructure is improved, thus facilitating the travel of students and locals’ health check-ups and treatment. Notably, the new road has also made agricultural products be sold easily, without money squeeze, which makes locals happier and more resolved in investing in agricultural production so as to boost poverty reduction and economic development./.
