Ba Ven Bridge is an iron bridge spanning the stream in Ba Ven hamlet (Loc Khanh commune, Loc Ninh district) serving the travel needs of households in the area. Currently, Loc Khanh Commune Police are protecting the scene to clarify the cause.
According to the leader of Loc Ninh District People's Committee, Ba Ven Bridge was built a long time ago and has now deteriorated. The commune government has posted a warning sign about the weak bridge so that passing vehicles can pay attention. The District People's Committee is organizing a bidding to select a contractor to invest in and build a new Ba Ven bridge, ensuring safe and convenient circulation for people.
Authorities are investigating and handling the accident.
