(Baonghean.vn) - My Thuong Bridge in Hung My Commune, Hung Nguyen is currently in serious disrepair. For many years, the bridge has become a threat to local residents.
 |
My Thuong Bridge was built in the 70s of the last century. It is a bridge connecting hamlets 7, 8 and 9 of Hung My commune, and is also an inter-commune bridge connecting Hung My commune and Hung Tan commune. In 1986, the bridge was repaired and rebuilt with a length of 31m and a width of 2m. However, after a period of use, the bridge continued to seriously degrade. |
 |
The bridge railing has come loose from the abutment. |
 |
People in this area have to cross this bridge every day. And just a little carelessness can lead to danger. |
 |
Mr. Le Dinh Thu, a resident of Hamlet 7, My Thuong village, said that there have been many cases of motorbikes, bicycles, and buffalo carts being thrown off the bridge. However, the situation has not been resolved. |
 |
The bridge's components and structure are no longer intact. The bridge could collapse at any time. |
 |
The steel system lifting the bridge under many places is rusted. |
 |
In many places, the lifting steel was worn away and broken off completely. |
 |
Mr. Le Dinh Thu said that there were 5 children who had accidents due to falling from the bridge, most of them were children aged 5-12. Therefore, the commune authorities have put up warning signs right next to My Thuong bridge. |
