The construction of two rigid bridges on the traffic route from Yen Tinh commune to Huu Khuong, Nhon Mai and Mai Son of Ban Ve lake area, Tuong Duong aims to improve traffic conditions, connecting remote areas: The rigid bridges will help eliminate difficulties in traveling and transporting goods on this important traffic route, especially during the rainy season. This will create more favorable conditions for people in Ban Ve lake area, Tuong Duong to access the district and provincial centers. Improving traffic will help people easily access the market, expand production, business activities, exchange goods, and improve their lives. The rigid bridges will create more favorable conditions for functional forces to patrol, control and protect security and sovereignty in border areas.

This is a specific and practical activity, demonstrating the attention and investment of the Party and State to develop remote areas, contributing to the construction of traffic infrastructure, promoting socio-economic development and strengthening security and defense in border areas. When the flood comes, the road from National Highway 48 to Hoa Tien community tourism village, Chau Tien commune (Quy Chau, Nghe An) is blocked because of the strong water flow. The low road, the spillway is even lower... making many traffic participants feel insecure and nervous. But that was the story of a few years ago. Since the beginning of 2023, the road and bridge have been completed and put into use, ending the flooding situation during the rainy season. In the Con Cuong area, on the right bank of the Lam River are the communes of Don Phuc, Mau Duc, Binh Chuan, Thach Ngan... with great potential for forest economy and forestry development. However, that potential is being limited by the old suspension bridge, with a load capacity of less than 2 tons. Every day, people and small vehicles cross the bridge in fear.

In addition to the billion-dong bridges from the state budget, each year there are many small bridges, with a total investment of several hundred million dong, built with socialized funds connecting clusters of villages and residential areas in remote areas. These bridges also carry the great mission of connecting and trading with the outside world to develop the economy and society of the villages. Building bridges connecting remote villages on the border of Nghe An province has created favorable conditions for traffic, circulation of goods and travel of people. The new bridges will help eliminate difficulties in traveling and transporting goods in complex terrain conditions and difficult roads in remote border areas. Connecting villages will create conditions for people to easily access the market, expand production, business activities, exchange goods, contributing to improving their lives. The bridges not only help connect traffic, but also act as cultural and social bridges, promoting exchanges and sharing between communities. Connecting remote villages will create favorable conditions for functional forces to patrol, control and protect security and sovereignty in border areas. The bridges being built reflect the efforts and determination of local authorities as well as the support of the Central Government to improve life and narrow the gap between border areas and inland areas. The efforts to build bridges connecting border villages will bring many practical benefits to people, contributing to socio-economic development and ensuring national security and defense in border areas. This is vivid evidence of the attention and investment of the Party and State in border areas./.
