In order to assist the residents, the local government dispatched six trucks to offer free transportation for individuals needing to cross the bridge between Hon Gai and Bai Chay.

One local resident, Mrs. Le Thi Buoi, shared her worries: “I reside in Hon Gai but work in Bai Chay. The closure of the bridge made me concerned about getting back home. Fortunately, the authorities have arranged transportation to keep us safe from harm.”
