    Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Ho Chi Thinh - Chairman of Binh Thanh Commune People's Committee said that Binh Thanh suspension bridge was built and put into use since 2001, solving the traffic needs of Binh Thanh commune people and economic sectors related to the forest.

    Binh Thanh has a large area of ​​economic and protective forests, the forest area and population mainly live on the southern bank of the river, so Binh Thanh suspension bridge is an important artery in the socio-economic development of the locality, a place where many people pass through.
    “Khi tren cau co xe lon, toi khong dam di len phai doi xe di qua het moi dam di chuyen. Thuc su moi lan qua ve cay cau nay, toi cam thay ap luc“, anh Le Thanh Trung, mot nguoi dan cho biet.
    “When there are big vehicles on the bridge, I don’t dare to go up, I have to wait for all the vehicles to pass before I dare to move. Every time I cross this bridge, I really feel pressured,” said Le Thanh Trung, a local resident.
    Theo tim hieu, truoc day, khi vua dua vao khai thac su dung, cau co trong tai tu 13-18 tan. Ve sau, cong trinh xuong cap, co quan chuc nang da cho ha tai cau xuong con 8 tan.
    According to research, when the bridge was first put into use, it had a load capacity of 13 - 18 tons. Later, when the structure deteriorated, the authorities lowered the load capacity to 8 tons.
    “Cau da xuong cap theo thoi gian, So Giao thong van tai da ha tai nhieu lan, hien con 8 tan. Mac du hang nam So deu duy tu bao duong dinh ki, hien nay moi khi xe o to qua cau la rung lac rat nguy hiem”, ong Thinh cho hay.
    “The bridge has deteriorated over time, the Department of Transport has lowered the load many times, now it is only 8 tons. Although the Department periodically maintains it every year, now every time a car passes over the bridge it shakes very dangerously,” said Mr. Thinh.
    hi nhan thuc te cua Lao Dong tai cau treo Binh Thanh cac ngay 8-9.10, moi chuyen xe lon, cay cau nhu the dang vung vay, toan bo cau rung lac du doi.
    According to Lao Dong's actual observations at Binh Thanh suspension bridge on October 8-9, every time a large vehicle passed, the bridge seemed to be struggling, the entire bridge shook violently.
    Mat tren hay mat duoi cua cau deu bi bong troc xuat hien nhung cho tro ca loi sat, nhieu vi tri duoc va viu bang xi-mang tam bo.
    The top and bottom of the bridge are peeling off, leaving exposed iron cores. Many areas have been re-treated with temporary cement.
    Cac doan dam cau bi ri set, an mon. Phuong tien giao thong khong dam qua cau khi tren cau co mot xe trong tai lon.
    The bridge girders are rusted and corroded. Vehicles dare not cross the bridge when there is a large truck on it.
    Toan canh cau treo Binh Thanh reu ra, tro thanh noi bat an cua nguoi dan.
    The bridge was designed to be nearly 140m long and more than 4m wide, located on the main road across the Huong River (now Provincial Road 12D) connecting many residential areas and the administrative center of Binh Thanh Commune with National Highway 49A. However, with this degraded bridge, it has greatly affected the economic development of local people.
    Duoc biet, cau Binh Thanh co nien han su dung trong vong 15 nam (tuc la den nam 2015), the nhung hien cau da het han su dung gan 10 nam, nhung cong trinh giao thong reu ra nay van tiep tuc hoat dong.
    Many parts of the bridge are seriously degraded.
    Theo ong Ho Chi Thinh - Chu tich UBND xa Binh Thanh, de tranh rui ro, dia phuong cung da tang cuong thong bao tren cac phuong tien truyen thanh ve trong tai cay cau. Dong thoi, thuong xuyen chi dao luc luong cong an, dan quan xa chot chan huong dan cac xe trong tai lon (chu yeu la xe khai thac go rung trong) khong luu thong qua cau. “Nhung nam gan day nhu cau xay dung cua ba con tang len, tuy nhien vi cau yeu nen cuoc van chuyen vat lieu xay dung cung cao hon anh huong kinh te ba con.

Vi su an toan cua nhan dan va su phat trien cua dia phuong, rat mong cac cap som dau tu xay dung cau cung”, ong Thinh noi.
    According to Mr. Ho Chi Thinh, to avoid risks, the locality has also increased announcements on the radio about the bridge's tonnage. At the same time, the police and militia forces of the commune regularly direct large-tonnage vehicles (mainly vehicles exploiting planted forests) not to pass through the bridge. "In recent years, the construction needs of the people have increased, however, because the bridge is weak, the cost of transporting construction materials is also higher, affecting the people's economy. The commune has sent a document to request investment in a rigid bridge for many years and has made recommendations through voter meetings. It is known that the province has included it in the medium-term plan for the period 2025 - 2027. For the safety of the people and the development of the locality, we hope that the authorities will soon invest in building a rigid bridge," said Mr. Thinh.
