BAC GIANG - The Chairman of the People's Committee of Bac Giang province has just issued a document directing the assurance of traffic order and safety to serve the purchase and consumption of lychees.

Accordingly, to overcome the current local traffic jams that often occur from 4 to 10 hours on National Highway 31, affecting the purchasing and consumption of lychees, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Chairman of the People's Committee of Chu town and the Chairmen of the People's Committees of Luc Ngan and Luc Nam districts to directly direct the functional forces in the area to guide the work of order, ensuring absolutely no trucks or containers stop and park on National Highway 31.

Organize a meeting before 8:00 p.m. on June 19, 2025 with military and police units in the area to discuss solutions to mobilize forces to support ensuring traffic order and safety, serving consumption.

There are traffic diversion measures to encourage cars to travel along two routes: the new Chu bridge road in Nam Duong commune (Chu town) - My An commune - provincial road 293; the road from My An commune (Chu town) - Quy Son commune (Chu town) - Dong Hung commune (Luc Nam), reducing the transportation pressure on National Highway 31.

The Chairman of the People's Committee of Chu town and the Chairmen of the People's Committees of Luc Ngan and Luc Nam districts shall be responsible to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee if traffic jams occur, affecting the purchase and consumption of lychees.
