Survey and project to build a permanent concrete bridge to replace Quan bridge

According to information from the Department of Construction, the Quan Bridge Construction Project (new) at km 65+400, Provincial Road 163 (section through Chau Que commune) is a reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridge; design load HL93, bridge length about 33 m, bridge width 9 m (minimum 2 lanes).

According to the authorities, Quan Bridge was built in 1964, with a stone bridge design built on weak ground; the bridge girder is made of steel frame, the bridge deck is made of steel 3.7m wide, load capacity 8 tons.

After many years of use, Quan Bridge has degraded, the steel deck has rusted, and the steel frame has sagged.

In particular, after the flood caused by storm No. 10, Quan bridge was severely damaged, forcing the construction industry to temporarily stop traffic on the bridge for more than 2 months now.

The closure of Quan Bridge has caused many difficulties for local people in traveling and transporting goods.

Faced with this situation, the Department of Construction has established a working group to survey, evaluate, and establish a project to build a new permanent concrete bridge to replace the old Quan bridge.

Quan Bridge is currently badly damaged by floods.

Quan Bridge, built and put into use, will contribute to improving the transportation capacity on Provincial Road 163; serving the travel and socio-economic development and tourism of localities located along the right bank of the Red River from Bao Ha commune to Chau Que, Dong Cuong, Mau A, and Tran Yen communes.
