In addition, the piers of the Kien My bridge show signs of damage, with many pieces of concrete broken off. Currently, the relevant units are carrying out reinforcement work. For the piers that have been eroded, the Department of Transport is leveling the ground and bringing sand back in to create a flat surface. Regarding the two central piers of the bridge, they are seeking opinions on reinforcement measures. Photo: Truong Dinh |

Meanwhile, in Vinh Thanh district (Binh Dinh province), the Dinh Binh bridge, after 29 years, is also severely degraded, shaking violently whenever a truck passes over it. Photo: Truong Dinh |

Due to concerns about the bridge collapsing, local authorities have placed signs prohibiting cars at both ends of the bridge. According to the leaders of Vinh Thanh District People's Committee, Binh Dinh Province People's Committee has agreed to include the Dinh Binh bridge in the list of projects under preparation for investment in the 2026-2030 period. The District People's Committee has assigned the Project Management Board to hire a consulting unit to redesign the new bridge. Photo: Truong Dinh |

For the time being, Vinh Thanh district will develop plans to ensure safety and prevent people from traveling during the flood season and high water levels. At the same time, traffic will be diverted to Vinh Hiep bridge, 1.5km away, to ensure safety. Photo: Truong Dinh |

According to the Department of Transport, in the past period, the Department has used its internal resources to repair and rectify damage, ensuring the safety of the infrastructure during the rainy season and floods. |
 |
In the long term, to ensure the stable and sustainable operation of the bridge and to standardize load capacity across the roads, the Department of Transport proposes that the Provincial People's Committee consider and allow the repair and reinforcement of the bridge abutments, piers, and girders with a more durable structure using the annual economic development budget allocated to the Department. |
 |
At the same time, the plan includes establishing a project to replace weak, narrow bridges to ensure traffic safety and standardize operating load capacity on provincial roads, using funds from the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030. |
