| Mr. Le Van Luan, Don Cham village, Muong Noc commune, said that the bridge is the only "gateway" for the people of these villages to the outside world, so its deterioration is a constant concern for the people of the above villages. The people here have also repaired it many times themselves, but with limited strength and resources, this repair is only temporary. In village meetings, the people have also petitioned the commune but for some reason it has not been repaired yet. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| According to the reporter's observation, there are many holes appearing on the bridge, more than 20cm wide and nearly 60cm long. Many makeshift pieces of the people's construction are concave and loose, extremely dangerous. Photo: Hung Cuong |

| Mr. Quang Van Phuong, Chairman of Muong Noc Commune People's Committee, said that since its construction (2008) until now, the district has supported the repair once, the commune has repaired twice, and people in 4 villages have repaired many times themselves. However, due to the quality of the wood and the large number of people traveling every day, this bridge has soon seriously degraded. Photo: Ho Phuong |
