To proactively prepare for storm No. 3 (super typhoon Yagi), the Hai Duong transport sector has developed a plan to handle locations at risk of landslides, slides, and flooding. Contractors and construction units have temporarily suspended construction of traffic works from September 6 to September 8.
On September 6, 3 working groups of the Hai Duong Department of Transport inspected storm prevention work No. 3 in localities.
The Department of Transport requests that from 12 noon on September 6, all construction items on ongoing traffic projects on roads and inland waterways managed by the department be temporarily suspended. Review and reinforce structures at risk of being affected by the storm; focus on ensuring traffic before, during and after the storm makes landfall.
The Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board has also organized 3 teams to coordinate in inspecting safety assurance at construction sites. Requesting reinforcement and bracing of sheds, camps, workers' housing... to ensure safety. All construction sites, especially at bridge and high-rise construction sites, require moving machinery systems and cranes to safe or firmly fixed places.
For the floating systems serving the bridge construction (Bac Hung Hai, Phi Xa, Cay bridges), the anchoring of vehicles must be completed securely and permanently outside the waterway corridor before 3:00 p.m. on September 6. The contractors will arrange for staff to be present at the site regularly to handle any situations that may arise.
The Department of Transport requires watercraft to anchor in safe locations before the storm makes landfall, and resolutely prohibits the operation of ferry piers when the storm makes landfall on the central river routes. The Department also announced the temporary suspension of driver testing on September 7 and 8; and requires transport service units to adjust or change schedules and itineraries accordingly to ensure absolute safety for the unit's transport operations.
