| Located on National Highway 48D, the only road connecting the center of Quang Phong commune to Kim Son town, the combined spillway in Ta village, Quang Phong commune (Que Phong) is currently seriously degraded. |
 |
According to Ms. Vi Thi Duyen - Director of the Que Phong District Project Management Board, the Ta village combined spillway started construction on May 13, 2009 and was completed and accepted on July 29, 2009. The project was invested by the Que Phong District People's Committee with a total cost of more than 614 million VND. |

"This combined spillway has suffered the most serious landslide in the past 2 years. In particular, the rain in May damaged the spillway body, collapsed 3 large concrete slabs (accounting for 50% of the road surface), damaged the spillway bed, and eroded the downstream of the spillway," said Mr. Lang Van Dung in Ta village, Quang Phong commune (Que Phong). |
 |
In addition, the spillway abutment has many large cracks and the spillway bottom has been heavily eroded. |
 |
| ...and many iron and steel bars protruded from the edge of the spillway. |
 |
| To ensure the safety of the people, the local authorities have put up warning signs and poured more soil and rocks into the spillway where the concrete had peeled off to temporarily cover it. |
 |
Although heavy vehicles are banned, because this is the only road, many vehicles still travel on it every day. |
