The People’s Committee in the central province of Quang Nam has sanctioned VND35 billion (US$1,659,700) for rebuilding of a bridge in Nui Thanh District, which was destroyed in the storm last November.
This had caused great inconvenience for local residents of Hoa Binh and Hoa An villages to cross the river. As a result, during heavy rains, students in Hoa An village had to stay at home or be escorted by border guards from Tam Thanh Station, who deployed canoes to transport students to schools.
The rebuilding of the bridge was therefore most essential, especially for commuting during the flood season.
