The bridge connects Tan An and Tan Huong communes and is considered the "gateway" for people from the communes to the center of Tan Ky district. Every day, hundreds of people pass by, most of them are students from Tan Huong commune's secondary and high schools who go to Tan An commune to go to school. Photo: Xuan Thuy |

| The structural system on the bridge has shown signs of deterioration, in particular, many sections have been severely damaged, posing a potential risk of accidents for people, especially during the rainy season. The bridge planks are rotten, many iron braces have lost their screws, so they bend upwards like blades, posing a danger to road users. Photo: Ho Phuong |
