Pa Uon bridge to be opened to traffic on April 30

The first span of the Pa Uon bridge spanning the Da river got connected on Highway 279 in Chieng On commune, Quynh Nhai district, Son La province yesterday.

The bridge invested by the Ministry of Transport lies within the food-avoiding highways and provincial roads project after the Son La Hydro-electric Power project had been deployed, contributing to forming the nearest road between Son La and Lai Chau provinces.

The ferro-concrete bridge, 918.5 metres in length, has a total investment of nearly VND 740 billion.

The construction of the bridge started on May 28, 2007. It is expected to be opened to traffic on April 30 and to be put into use in July 2010.
