On September 4, the People's Committee of Huong Phung commune (Quang Tri province) said that the storm that occurred in August 2025 caused great damage to the traffic infrastructure in the area, especially the road to Cat and Tria villages.
According to statistics, the about 1km long road leading to these two villages was severely eroded, the road surface was peeling and many locations were eroded into the slope, making it difficult for people to travel. In particular, the spillway connecting Cat - Tria village was swept away by floodwaters on one side of the bridge abutment with a length of about 5m, making it impossible for vehicles to pass safely.
Not only that, in Cheng Vanh village, the spillway bridge was also severely damaged when water swept away one side of the 5m long bridge abutment. The strong current has created a frog tunnel that has eaten into the bridge on both sides of the bridge about 15m deep, posing a potential risk of collapse if there is continued heavy rain.
Mr. Phan Ngoc Long - Vice Chairman of Huong Phung Commune People's Committee - said that this is the only route to Cat and Tria villages, where many ethnic minorities live. When bridges and roads are damaged, people have difficulty traveling, especially during heavy rains, when water rises frequently, causing isolation and isolation.
Currently, these damages have not been repaired, while the rainy and stormy season is still prolonged. The local government has reported and recommended that superiors soon support funding to urgently repair and ensure safety for the people" - Mr. Long said.
