    SÓNG HỮU |

    Hanoi - People on both banks of the Day River hope that the Tan Phu bridge project will be completed soon, replacing the temporary bridge that is often flooded when the Day River water rises.

    Cầu Tân Phú có chiều dài tuyến gồm đường dẫn và cầu là 500m. Quy mô mặt cắt ngang cầu và đường dẫn là 9m, kết nối 2 xã An Khánh và Hưng Đạo.
    The Tan Phu bridge project is about 500m long (including access roads and bridges), connecting 2 communes An Khanh and Hung Dao.
    s
    The project started in 2024, expected to be completed by the end of 2025, but due to some difficulties and obstacles, it is behind schedule.
    Đến nay các trụ cầu giữa sông Đay đã hoàn thành. Mặc dù một số trụ cầu giữa sông đã được hoàn thiện, nhiều hạng mục quan trọng khác vẫn dang dở.
    Recorded on the afternoon of September 20, so far the bridge pillars in the middle of the Day River have been completed. However, many other important items are still unfinished.

    Mr. Nguyen Van Giap (54 years old, from Thanh Hoa) works as a construction worker at the Tan Phu bridge project. "The work at the construction site is quite small. With the current progress, the project is unlikely to be completed this year" - Mr. Giap said.

    Next to the new Tan Phu bridge project is the Tan Phu temporary bridge. The bridge has been flooded since September 17th, and by the afternoon of September 20th, the water had not yet receded under the bridge surface.
    Biển cảnh báo khu vực ngập sâu nguy hiểm, cấm người và phương tiện đi lại được đặt ở đầu đường vào cầu phía xã An Khánh.
    Warning signs for dangerous deep flooded areas, prohibiting people and vehicles from traveling are placed at the beginning of the road to the bridge in An Khanh commune.
    Dù vậy, ghi nhận vào chiều 20.9, nhiều người dân vẫn bất chấp nguy hiểm lội qua. “Tôi gửi xe ở bên này rồi lội nước qua cầu về nhà bên kia sông. Nếu phải đi ra cầu vượt sông Đáy để về nha, quãng đường xa hơn gấp nhiều lần” - ông Nguyễn Ngọc Tình (xã Hưng Đạo) nói.
    However, recorded in the afternoon of September 20, many people still disregarded the danger and waded through. "I parked my car on this side and waded through the water across the bridge to my house in Hung Dao commune on the other side of the river. If I had to go around to the Day River overpass on Thang Long Avenue, the distance would be many times longer" - Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tinh (left of the photo) said.
    Cạnh dự án cầu Tân Phú mới là cầu tạm Tân Phú. Chiều 20.9, ông Lê Văn Nhiên (61 tuổi, xã Hưng Đạo) lội bộ qua cầu để trông coi công trường dự án cầu Tân Phú phía xã An Khánh. “Cầu tạm cứ mưa lớn là ngập. Lội được qua cầu người ướt nhẹp, tôi phải mang thêm bộ quần áo để thay” - ông Nhiên nói.
    On the afternoon of September 20, Mr. Le Van Nhien (61 years old, Hung Dao commune) walked across the bridge to watch over the Tan Phu bridge project construction site in An Khanh commune. "The temporary bridge is flooded whenever it rains heavily. Walking across the bridge, people are soaked, I have to bring more clothes to change on" - Mr. Nhien said and hoped that the Tan Phu bridge project would be accelerated so that people's travel would be convenient, especially during the rainy and storm season.
    Tại xã Hưng Đạo, ông Dương Văn Phượng - Chủ tịch UBND xã cho biết, chính quyền đã bàn giao toàn bộ mặt bằng cho chủ đầu tư là Ban Quản lý dự án đầu tư xây dựng công trình giao thông Hà Nội để triển khi thi công dự án.
    In Hung Dao commune, Mr. Duong Van Phuong - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee said that the government has handed over the entire site to the investor, the Hanoi Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, to implement the project.
    d
    Mr. Phuong assessed that the project implementation progress is currently very slow. "We have proposed to the investor to accelerate the progress of the Tan Phu bridge project, to complete it soon to serve the travel needs of the people" - Chairman of Hung Dao Commune People's Committee said.
