The border guard working group in Nghe An supported Mong people to build a bridge across a stream that was swept away by flood.

Muong Long village currently has 137 households, all of whom are Mong ethnic people. From the center of Tri Le commune, to reach this Mong village, one must travel on a 25 km long single-track road, of which there are only 13 km of asphalt road, more than 4 km of concrete road, the rest is dirt road with many steep, slippery, muddy slopes, and can only be traveled by motorbike.

The bridge is made of wood, 10 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and was built by 115 people, including border guards, soldiers, and local people. Completing the bridge was a great effort in complex terrain conditions, with difficult traffic, especially during the rainy season.

Head of Muong Long village, Mr. Va Ba Mai said: "The villagers would like to thank the officers and soldiers of Tri Le Border Post, Muong Long Working Group and other forces who have not been afraid of difficulties and worked hard to coordinate with the people to build a bridge for people across Huoi Ta stream.
