Vinh City: Post Office Bridge reopens to traffic
(Baonghean.vn) - After 20 days of dealing with the subsidence caused by floods, on the evening of December 28, the Post Office Bridge at the intersection of Phung Chi Kien and Le Viet Thuat streets (Vinh City) was reopened to traffic.
The rain that lasted from the night of December 7 to December 8 caused a large area of subsidence on the road surface at the Old Post Office Bridge (the intersection of Le Viet Thuat Street and Phung Chi Kien Street). After the incident, the Vinh City People's Committee directed relevant units to urgently fix the problem.

Post Office Bridge is a major traffic point in Vinh City. After the incident, traffic congestion on the bypass roads occurred frequently, causing difficulties for Vinh City residents when traveling through here. Authorities often had to be on duty to direct traffic on Phung Chi Kien Street when Le Viet Thuat Street was closed to cars to handle the incident.
According to the reporter's observation, although only half of the bridge is open to traffic, vehicles traveling through here are quite convenient.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Thang - Head of Vinh Urban Management Department said: "The construction units have made efforts to open the bridge before the New Year and opened it on the evening of December 28. Although only half of the bridge has been opened, it has reduced traffic at this hot spot. The remaining half of the bridge will be completed by the traffic units as soon as possible in the near future"./.
