Currently, hundreds of screws and iron bolts fixing the wooden panels of Do Ro bridge have been lost, leaving only the buttons. Many iron braces have also lost their screws, so they have bent upwards like knife blades, posing a danger to road users.

Mr. Tran Van Hoa, residing in Nghia Dong commune, said: Although this situation has been going on for a long time, no authorities have yet fixed it. Meanwhile, we still have to cross this bridge every day because there is no other way.
