Road management agency asks toll stations to shut down in heavy rain
The toll station of a BOT (build-operate-transfer) project must shut down its door in case of heavy rainfalls to facilitate transportation of passengers and commodities, said the Directorate for Roads of Viet Nam.
The Directorate ordered its sub-division to and local governments in storm-hit areas and investors of BOT tollgate to close its doors for evacuation and transportation of passengers and goods to aid storm-hit provinces.
At the same time, the Directorate ordered investors to ensure security in road sections and stations. When a vehicle must stop because of bad weather, the tollgate staffs and local administration must provide safe shelters to them.
The Road Management Bureau II is responsible for supervising the close of tollgate in heavy rain to create favorable condition for vehicles to transport passengers and commodities.
