The red dirt road to Rach Vem hamlet (Ganh Dau commune) is approximately 5km long and is degraded, broken, and has many potholes; some sections are full of stagnant water and mud, making it difficult for locals and tourists to travel.
It is very difficult for children to go to school. There are many vehicles, creating large puddles. Tourists sometimes slip and fall in the middle of the road.
The red dirt road to Rach Vem (Ganh Dau commune, Phu Quoc city) has many potholes and is severely damaged.
Mr. Nguyen Van Nhanh, a tourist, rented a motorbike to go to Rach Vem. However, when he reached the red dirt road above, he felt very frustrated because he did not know how to drive when the road was badly damaged.
"Honestly, I have never seen a road as bad as this red dirt road. I drove without knowing where to avoid. I had to push up and down so hard that I couldn't breathe. The road was sandy and dirt, so when I tried to swerve, I fell right there. We hope that the locality will soon pay attention to building the road so that travel is more comfortable and especially to preserve the image of local tourism," said Mr. Nhanh.
Rach Vem is one of the famous tourist destinations in Phu Quoc when it still retains the beauty of wild sea and forest. The blue sea and fresh, cool climate attract thousands of domestic and foreign tourists to visit every year.
Allocate 80 billion to build road to Rach Vem
On the morning of October 29, Mr. Pham Huu Kiet - Chairman of the People's Committee of Ganh Dau Commune (Phu Quoc City) - said that Rach Vem Hamlet (Ganh Dau Commune) has more than 200 households living along this red dirt road.
However, the red dirt road has been badly damaged over time. In the rainy season, water stagnates. In the dry season, dust flies everywhere.
"This red dirt road is currently damaged, the local authorities will wait for the sun to rise to plan to patch and repair it to make it smoother. The People's Committee of Phu Quoc City has decided to allocate more than 80 billion VND to build a solid concrete road by 2024. When the road is completed, people and tourists will travel more conveniently," said Mr. Kiet.
