Storm No. 10 (international name Bualoi) although making landfall in the Central region, has caused severe damage to traffic infrastructure in many provinces and cities across the country.

According to a summary report by the Vietnam Road Administration ( Ministry of Construction ), up to now, storm No. 10 and subsequent floods have caused serious damage to the road traffic infrastructure system across the country, with a total estimated value of nearly 1,000 billion VND.

Specifically, the national highway and expressway system managed by the Ministry of Construction suffered a loss of about VND78.72 billion (8%). Provincial roads and national highways managed by localities suffered a loss of about VND904.11 billion (92%).
