Unsafe traffic on the nearly 50-year-old bridge in Can Loc

The people's bridge in Lien Tan village (Thuong Loc commune, Can Loc, Ha Tinh ) after nearly 50 years of use has seriously degraded, posing a high risk of insecurity for traffic participants.

Clip: Ong Kien Bridge is degraded, people are worried when traveling

According to the people of Lien Tan village, this bridge is also called Ong Kien bridge, built in 1976. The bridge serves the transportation and production of the village's 70-hectare field, so the traffic of people and vehicles is very large. However, after 47 years of use, the bridge has seriously degraded.

According to observations, the bridge is about 20m long, 2m wide, 3-4m high and has no railings. The narrow bridge always makes people feel insecure. In addition, large vehicles and machinery serving agricultural production cannot pass through the bridge, forcing people to take a detour, which takes a lot of time.

To meet travel needs, local people have reinforced and repaired in a makeshift, patchwork manner.

As a result, large cracks appeared, many parts of concrete peeled off, exposing rusted iron and steel.

Every day, hundreds of people still cross the bridge in a state of anxiety. According to local reports, many people, vehicles and livestock have fallen into the river while crossing the bridge.

Voters of Lien Tan village have repeatedly petitioned their superiors about this issue but there has been no solution yet. We hope that the authorities will pay attention and create favorable conditions for the people to have a new bridge, making travel safer and better serving crop production.
