Four Hope Bridges worth over $89,000 open in Mekong Delta
Four concrete bridges costing more than VND2.3 billion (US$89,000) have opened in Dong Thap Province and Can Tho City, improving rural transport and helping residents move agricultural produce more easily.
Four new Hope Bridges, valued at over $89,000, were inaugurated in the Mekong Delta region on October 16. The bridges, including Ngon Nuoc Trong Bridge in Phong Hoa Commune and Bo Buom Bridge in Tan Nhuan Dong Commune, replace old, deteriorated structures that had caused difficulties for residents and students. The new concrete bridges, costing more than VND800 million in total, facilitate trade, improve transportation, and ensure safer routes for students.
The Hope Foundation, Roche Vietnam, and the FPT Community Fund contributed to the funding, with the remaining costs covered by local authorities and residents. These bridges are part of Hope Foundation's "The Road to School" program, which has built over 470 bridges in various provinces to improve rural infrastructure and support local livelihoods.
