Heavy rains sweep away temporary bridges, triggering landslides in Nghe An
Prolonged torrential downpours have triggered rising river levels that swept away a temporary bridge over the Nam Non River in My Ly Commune, Nghe An Province, leaving several remote villages cut off.
Heavy rains have caused severe damage in Nghe An province, with torrential downpours sweeping away a temporary bridge over the Nam Non River and triggering landslides. The collapse of the Yen Hoa temporary bridge in My Ly Commune has left several remote villages, including Yen Hoa, Nhot Lot, and Pieng Pen, cut off. These villages are home to 89, 67, and 48 households respectively.
The isolated communities were already struggling following historical floods in 2025 that destroyed the original suspension bridge. The temporary bridge, measuring over 50 meters in length and 3 meters in width, was meant to be dismantled before the monsoon season, but was washed away prematurely due to rising floodwaters. Residents are now forced to cross the swollen river by boat or take a longer detour.
To ensure safety, officials have erected warning signs and deployed personnel to manage traffic. Meanwhile, in Muong Tip Commune, prolonged rains have caused massive landslides on Provincial Highway 543D near Xop Tip village, cutting off access between the commune center and the village. Authorities are mobilizing resources to clear the debris and reopen the vital transport route.
