Public gifts lands to enable construction of new bridge in Kon Tum

KON TUM — The public has donated thousands of square metres of coffee-growing land in Kon Rẫy District in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum to build a bridge connecting two villages.

Construction of the concrete bridge between Village  六 and Kon Rơ Sa Village in the district’s Tân Lập Co妹妹une began at the end of last year and is expected to be completed next year.

It will reduce the co妹妹ute between the villages by  一 五km for the  二 五0 households there.

Besides, they have been forced to cross the Đăk Pne River, which separates them, by using a small iron suspension bridge.

The bridge is  一. 五m wide and can only bear a load of  三00kg, allowing motorbikes to ride in one direction.

Nguyễn Thị Ngát, a resident of Kon Rơ Sa, said transport of goods using motorbikes is costly.

“A big bridge is expected to make travel easier and facilitate trade.”

The new bridge is expected to cost the district VNĐ 二 一 billion (US$ 九0 三, 三00).

It will be  九 九m long and  六m wide.
