Warning about students and people deliberately climbing over the fence to walk across Yen Bai bridge

Since 6 p.m. on September 30, Lao Cai province has banned all vehicles and pedestrians from crossing Yen Bai bridge (Km280+500, National Highway 37). However, according to reporters from the provincial Newspaper and Radio - Television on October 11, there were still many people and students who arbitrarily lifted the metal barrier to crawl through and walk on the bridge.

Despite warning signs "Weak bridge" and "No traffic or pedestrians allowed", many people still deliberately pull down the barrier to walk across the bridge to the other side of the river. In particular, students from schools near Yen Bai bridge often flip over the barrier with the excuse of being late for school and wanting to take a shortcut for convenience.

Despite the ban and warning signs, people still arbitrarily crawl through the barrier to walk across Yen Bai bridge.

Mr. Nguyen Van Phu (Hong Tien residential group, Yen Bai ward) said that many people saw people opening the metal barrier to cross so they followed suit. Even though they knew that crossing Yen Bai bridge was prohibited, people still went because it was close and convenient.

People and students leave their vehicles at the bridge head and then pull the barrier to walk across Yen Bai bridge.
