When will people have a bridge across Huong stream?

(Baonghean.vn) - For many years, the people of Hamlet 10, Nam Loc, Nam Dan have been very worried every time the flood season comes because for a long time they have had to cross Huong stream but there is no bridge. In the dry season, the water is low and they can walk across the stream, but in the rainy season, when the water rises, they have to use a boat, which is very dangerous.

20 years ago, to develop her family's economy, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyet in Nam Loc commune moved to the new economic zone in Khe Huong (Nam Loc, Nam Dan). Although not far from her old place, the new area has difficult traffic, from where she lives to go out she has to go through Khe Huong. Ms. Nguyet said that during the dry season she can walk across, but during the rainy season from July to October of the lunar calendar it is very difficult to cross.

During the dry season, when the water is low, people in hamlet 10, Nam Loc can travel across Huong stream.

"When my children were young, traveling was already difficult, but now that the three children are grown, going to school during the rainy season is even more difficult. If the heavy rain continues for a long time, the children cannot go to school and have to stay home from school," said Ms. Nguyet.

Mr. Pham Hong Thai - 70 years old, a resident of Hamlet 10, Nam Loc added, in July when it rains, we have to go by boat, but when there is heavy rain, the boat cannot go because the water from the entire Thanh Lam (Thanh Chuong) and Nam Loc areas... pours in, flowing rapidly. Hamlet 10 Nam Loc has about 90 households, many families from other places want to come here to develop their farm economy but do not dare because of traffic obstacles.

A typical case is that of Mr. Tam's family who came here to build a house and reclaim land for a farm, but when the children grew up, for convenience in commuting to school, they had to return to their hometown in the commune center.

During the rainy season, people have to use boats. But if the rain continues heavily and the water rises, it is very dangerous to cross.

It is known that in the current flood season, 90 households with about 300 people in hamlet 10, Nam Loc are completely cut off and have to follow the mountain around Thanh Lam and Thanh Chuong communes to get out, which is very difficult. People are eager to invest in a bridge to serve the education and travel of children in the area.

According to the Nam Dan District Department of Industry and Trade, there are many bridges in the area that need to be built. However, due to financial difficulties, many places either have temporary bridges or no bridges at all, so people have to use boats to cross rivers and streams when there is heavy rain.
