Mr. Nguyen Van Quy - Vice Chairman of Quynh Luu District People's Committee said: After the People's Committees of Quynh Hung and Quynh Dien communes submitted a request to the province and district for support in building the bridge, on January 22, 2020, the Provincial People's Committee approved the policy of rebuilding the bridge with an amount of 4.5 billion VND to be completed by 2021.

Mr. Kim Thanh Xuyen - Head of the Economic Infrastructure Department of Quy Hop district said: The reason these bridges have deteriorated is because they were built mainly by hand in the past, and have been damaged during the rainy and flood seasons. Due to financial difficulties, new construction is not possible, so the district is directing the communes, before this year's rainy and flood season, to mobilize people's strength and commune budget for temporary maintenance.

(Baonghean.vn) - For many years now, every day, households in hamlets 7 and 8, Nam Linh commune (Nam Dan district) have had to "hold their breath" to travel on the seriously degraded bridge 78.
(Baonghean.vn) - Mang Bridge located in Nam Son Commune (Do Luong) is deteriorating and severely damaged. Because this is an important bridge connecting National Highway 7, people here still have to cross it every day in fear of it collapsing.
