Standing Vice Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People's Committee Mai Son added that the provincial leaders are very interested and have directed relevant parties to encourage and support construction units to try to close Dong Viet Bridge to ensure progress and technical standards.

This week, the People's Committee of Bac Giang province will work with relevant parties to remove difficulties and promote the progress of the Dong Viet bridge project.

According to Mr. Mai Son, the bridge construction package has been basically completed. However, the site clearance work on the road leading to the bridge has not been completed because some households have built houses on agricultural land.
