Subsidence of pillar and broken span of Tat Luong bridge in Na Hang commune

At around 1am on October 3, Tat Luong bridge connecting village 6 with village 14 of Na Hang commune, Tuyen Quang province, had a landslide that broke the bridge connection and collapsed a span of the bridge. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Subsidence of Tat Luong bridge pillar caused one span of the bridge to break.

Comrade Bui Thi Xuyen, Chairman of the People's Committee of Na Hang commune, said that the initial cause of the bridge pier landslide was determined to be due to prolonged heavy rain in recent days, combined with the discharge of floodwaters from Tuyen Quang hydropower plant, causing the soil in this area to become waterlogged, leading to the landslide.

Immediately after receiving the information, the People's Committee of Na Hang commune sent forces to the scene, established a protected area, and ensured safety for the people.

Immediately after receiving the information, the People's Committee of the commune directed the police force and related units to urgently be present at the scene, put up warning ropes, and prevent people from passing through the dangerous areas at both ends of the bridge.

Tat Luong Bridge connecting village 6 and village 14 of Na Hang commune has a collapsed bridge pillar, causing traffic disruption.

Comrade Bui Thi Xuyen added that from September 30 to October 3, in the commune, more than 300 households in 9 villages had their houses flooded, 1 house collapsed, many crop areas were affected, the commune is still continuing to count the damage.

The embankment downstream of Tuyen Quang Hydropower Plant was eroded after flood discharge.

The biggest impact is that the two embankments downstream of the hydroelectric plant have been affected by the water, creating dangerous gaps. Up to now, the water in the commune has completely receded, and people are urgently cleaning their houses and the environment according to the motto "where the water recedes, clean up immediately".
