During the recent flood, the spillway bridge over Chot stream connecting Tan Thai village to Kem Don village (Tri Le commune, Que Phong district, Nghe An) was deeply flooded, causing erosion and damage. In response to this situation, the Tri Le commune Youth Union coordinated with relevant departments to repair the spillway bridge for students and people to travel.

The spillway is over 20m long and about 2.5m wide. Every time it rains heavily, flooding occurs due to the rising and fast-flowing stream water.

After research, the authorities and youth union members built the spillway higher than the old level to ensure that the bridge would not be flooded when it rained.

“The cost of rebuilding the spillway bridge is more than 25 million VND. This is only a temporary bridge. In the long term, people want a solid bridge so that students can go to school with peace of mind,” said Ha Duc Thinh, Secretary of the Tri Le Commune Youth Union.
