Tay Yen culvert has been damaged and degraded and needs to be repaired soon.

After a long period of operation, although they have been repaired, the 6 sluice gates are now degraded and severely damaged. The sluice gates are rotten in many places, there is no fixed staircase to go up to operate the sluice; the reinforced concrete frame system of the sluice is damaged, peeling, exposing the steel. During the rainy and stormy season, the operation of the sluice gate faces many difficulties.

Provincial working delegation inspected the current status of Con Gao bridge in Ky Hoa commune.

Con Gao Bridge in Ky Hoa Commune is 40m long, built in 2009, located on the rescue route of the upstream Tri River reservoir. Along with serving the travel of people, Con Gao Bridge plays an important role in implementing solutions to ensure the safety of the upstream Tri River reservoir during each rainy season.

Con Gao Bridge is currently severely damaged in the abutments and piers.

However, Con Gao Bridge is seriously damaged in the piers and abutments with the reinforced concrete at the base of the piers breaking the connection, the concrete at the base of the piers being eroded and washed away, the steel reinforcement being corroded and the piers are at risk of gradually losing their load-bearing capacity.

With the current state of damage, the risk of Con Gao bridge breaking or collapsing is quite high, as it is only about 100m from the discharge culvert of the upstream lake of Song Tri.
