(Baonghean.vn) - Not only in the young buds and green leaves, Spring in Nghe An is also evident on the wide open roads and new bridges being built to help people travel more conveniently...
Nghe An is a province with diverse terrain, many rivers and streams, which greatly affect the travel and economic development of localities, especially remote districts. In order to create a breakthrough in transportation development, eliminate obstacles caused by rivers and streams, help people travel conveniently and safely during the rainy and flood season and promote trade, economic development, and bring a new look to all rural areas, in recent years, Nghe An has been building many new bridges, adding to the homeland's modernity and dynamism, connecting key economic regions, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
Typical example is the bridge in Chau Thang commune, district.Quy Chau, built in 2023, with an investment capital of 44 billion VND. The bridge is designed to be 179.3m long, 7m wide, and is expected to be handed over and put into use in March 2024. Mr. Vi Van Lam - a resident of Chau Thang commune excitedly shared: With the new bridge, our people will no longer have to take a ferry across Hieu River, the village will have favorable conditions for economic development, especially children will be safer when going to school.
A representative of the People's Committee of Quy Chau district said: Up to now, people in Chau Thang commune have been using Chau Thang spillway to travel. During flood season, some villages are often isolated. The construction of the new Chau Thang bridge will facilitate travel for people in 5 villages, with more than 700 households and more than 3,200 people.
In 2023, Quy Chau district will also put into use the bridge over the Hat River on the Chau Tien - Chau Binh inter-commune traffic route.
