Ta Ngao suspension bridge serving hundreds of households in Ta Ngao and Ban Pho villages to the center of Bat Xat commune was overturned due to a loose cable.


Mrs. Ly Mui Lua in Ban Pho village, Bat Xat commune is still shocked by her narrow escape.
Mrs. Lua shared: I had just driven my motorbike about 5 meters into the bridge when the bridge tilted. Luckily, I was able to grab onto the iron bar on the bridge wall and escaped.

The tilted bridge affected the travel of about 100 households with 426 people, including about 100 preschool and primary school students who need to go to school every day.

Mr. Ly Minh Ta - Head of Ta Ngao village, Bat Xat commune, Lao Cai province hopes that the commune and province will soon have quick solutions to help people travel safely.
It is now the school year, and it is also the rainy season. If the bridge is not urgently repaired, nearly 100 students in the area will have to go through flooded tunnels to get to school, which is very dangerous.
Immediately upon receiving the news, the authorities were present at the scene, stretched warning ropes, and directed traffic flow for people and vehicles to ensure safety.

Mr. Luong Van Thuong - Deputy Director of the Bat Xat Project Management Board said: The Board will propose that the province soon arrange resources to fix the problem because this is the shortest route for people from the two villages to the commune center to carry out related administrative procedures; at the same time, coordinate to inspect and assess the safety of all suspension bridges in the area to ensure safety for people and vehicles.
