With the rainy season approaching, this temporary section of road is highly susceptible to flooding, which would significantly impact construction progress and the movement of people.

In 2010, the State invested 52 billion VND in the Mau Duc - Thach Ngan road project in Con Cuong district. The project included 9 km of road and 2 permanent bridges.
However, after 9 years of implementation, the project is still unfinished, with only the road section basically completed. The girders for the two bridges have only just been installed.
Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, from the Con Cuong District Project Management Board, stated: The Mau Duc - Thach Ngan road project officially commenced in 2010, but was stalled for many years. Therefore, in 2017, the province restarted the project and granted an extension until June 2019. However, to date, the construction unit has only completed over 7 km of road; two bridges and over 1 km of road remain unfinished.

Currently, the People's Committee of Con Cuong district is urging the enterprise to expedite the completion of the two bridges in November 2019 and finish the remaining more than 1 km of road. According to the People's Committee of the district, only 30 out of 52 billion VND of the total investment capital has been disbursed so far.
The prolonged construction time of the aforementioned road project has affected people's travel for many years, especially during the upcoming rainy season. The temporary bypass road around the bridge under construction will be washed away by floodwaters, making it impassable for vehicles.
