"My house is on this side of Sa Dec bridge, and Nang Hai market is on the other side of the bridge. Therefore, to get food, I have to go to the market every day, but when I pass by the safety barrier and traffic flow, I feel secure," said Mr. Phuc.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thang (27 years old, living in Sa Dec city, Dong Thap province) - a truck driver shared: "Previously, I often transported goods across Sa Dec bridge. Now the old bridge is being dismantled for construction of a new one, so I follow the traffic diversion. I find that this traffic diversion does not affect travel much and also ensures safety."
