Phong Chau pontoon bridge closed due to strong river flow

Since the beginning of the week, Phu Tho province and the upstream areas have been experiencing prolonged heavy rains, causing the amount of water flowing into the Red River to increase rapidly. The river water level has risen abnormally, causing high flow rates, posing a danger to traffic on the pontoon bridge, which is an important connection between Lam Thao district and neighboring areas.
