A stretch of a road in Dong Nai Province, southern Vietnam is filled with countless small and big potholes, posing a high risk of traffic accidents.

The pothole-ridden Hoang Van Bon Street is part of the build-operate-transfer (BOT) Provincial Road 768 project, executed by Sonadezi Chau Duc Shareholding Company.

The six-kilometer long BOT road starts at National Highway 1 in the provincial capital city of Bien Hoa and ends in Thien Tan Commune, Vinh Cuu District.

The road and Thu Bien Bridge connect the province with Binh Duong Province.

Over the past few days, a 1.4-kilometer-long stretch full of potholes has made it harder for motorcycles, trucks, and long-haul buses to move, according to the observation of Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reporters.

Apart from hundreds of potholes, the road has seen several cracks and subsidence on its surface, trapping road commuters.

Dozens of commuters fell off their motorbikes due to the slippery road and potholes on the morning of one day.

“Many commuters have hit large potholes and fell even though the road has been resurfaced,” driver Minh Tam lamented.

According to the Dong Nai Province Department of Transport, a team was established to conduct an on-site inspection of Provincial Road 768 following complaints from residents.

The inspection revealed numerous deteriorated areas along the road, with both small and large potholes. Hoang Van Bon Street was identified as the most degraded section, covered in mud, soil, sand, rocks, and garbage.

The department has requested Sonadezi Chau Duc to promptly repair the route and address the sewage system issues.
