Young people in Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir area cut planks to make a bridge across the cliff

During the campaign to open a traffic route from Huoi Co village and Xan village to Con Phen village (center of Huu Khuong commune), the section passing Canh Qua stream was not possible due to dangerous cliffs.

Local leaders have assigned the Youth Union to build a bridge over the cliff to clear the road and serve travel needs.

The route from Huoi Co - Con Phen (Huu Khuong commune - Tuong Duong) through Canh Qua stream is very dangerous, with a stream below and a cliff above, making it difficult to clear the road with rudimentary tools. Photo: Cong Kien

Assigned to build a wooden bridge, the Youth Union of Huu Khuong commune mobilized more than 40 members and young people of Huoi Co village to build stone cages, cut trees to make beams, and sawed planks to make a wooden bridge across the cliff, connecting the two banks of the stream.

The Huu Khuong Commune Union allocated funds and mobilized more than 40 union members and youths from Huoi Co village to weave stone baskets to erect pillars, cut trees to make beams and saw planks to pave the bridge.

Within one day, the basic wooden bridge was completed with a length of 16 m and a width of 1.8 m. The completed bridge will ensure safety and convenience for travel on the Huoi Co - Con Phen route.

The construction work encountered many difficulties and dangers, but the union members and youth always showed their determination. Photo: Cong Kien

After a day of hard work, the bridge was basically completed, ensuring more convenient travel. Photo: Cong Kien

Previously, also on this route, on March 15, 2018, the Xan Village Youth Union of Huu Khuong Commune also completed an 8 m long, 1.8 m wide wooden bridge, ensuring more convenient traffic.
