Thanh Nien has found.
The street, which cost US$19.7 million, opened to the public on April 29 last year, attracting thousands of visitors daily.
But some LED lamps installed under trees have sunk into ground, manhole covers are askew, granite blocks used to cover underground electricity lines have disappeared and the covers of electrical transformers are coming off, causing anxiety to people with young children.
Trinh Thi Kim Chi, 32, said she found it strange that granite blocks have broken off so easily since she had heard granite lasts 100 of years.
Tran Quang Lam, deputy director of the city Department of Transport, told Thanh Nien Sunday that Nguyen Hue Street is being assessed and the department has instructed the contractor to fix the damages.
