Tay Ninh: The new bridge was completed after 2 weeks of subsidence, cars and motorbikes fell into the pit.

On May 9, 2025, Hoa Binh Bridge, one of the important traffic works in Tay Ninh province, suddenly experienced a serious subsidence incident as soon as dozens of vehicles were circulating through the bridge.

After just over 2 weeks from the inauguration, the bridge surface suddenly sank deeply, forming a large hole that caused a series of cars and motorcycles moving on the bridge to fall, injuring many people. The injured in this incident were quickly rescued by functional forces and people and taken to the emergency room.

Immediately after the incident occurred, the authorities of Tay Ninh province were present at the scene to investigate and fix the incident. Rescue work was urgently implemented, in order to get the fallen vehicles and injured people out of the danger area. Experts have also been sent to check the quality of the bridge to determine the cause of the subsidence, and at the same time block the scene to prevent other incidents from occurring.

Causes of the problem

According to initial information from the authorities, the subsidence incident may be related to the quality of construction and the failure to thoroughly check geological factors before implementing the project. Although Hoa Binh Bridge was inaugurated to the joy of the locals, after the incident, many people questioned the quality of this work.

Experts said that in the process of bridge construction, geological factors and foundations play an extremely important role. Thorough inspection and evaluation of these factors is essential to ensure the stability and safety of the building. However, if the survey is inaccurate or inadequate in the monitoring stage, the bridge may subside after a short time of being put into use. This is the cause of incidents such as those that occurred at Hoa Binh Bridge.

Authorities are currently conducting further investigations to determine the responsibilities of construction units and related parties. In particular, the lack of maintenance and supervision after the completion of the project is a problem that many people also question. The incident not only affected traffic but also caused material and mental damage to the victims.

After the incident, traffic on Hoa Binh Bridge was seriously congested for many hours. Functional forces had to guide vehicles to circulate through other routes while fixing the problem. The prolonged congestion has made it difficult for thousands of people to move.

In addition, the fact that many people were injured in the subsidence also caused public concern about traffic safety on newly built roads and bridges. The injured are being treated at nearby medical facilities, however, some are seriously injured and remain in critical condition.

In particular, this case also raises many questions about the inspection and supervision of the quality of the work after completion. The responsibilities of construction units and authorities in ensuring the safety of people after the bridge is put into use need to be clarified.

Immediately after the incident, Tay Ninh province asked the construction units to urgently inspect the entire project The subsidence incident of Hoa Binh Bridge after just over 2 weeks of being put into use is an expensive lesson about ensuring the quality of traffic works. It is extremely important to thoroughly review and inspect before putting it into use and closely supervise after completing the project to avoid unfortunate collisions.

Authorities need to quickly clarify the cause and fix the problem to ensure the safety of people and improve the quality of traffic works in the future. Experts were also sent to examine the root cause of the incident and propose long-term solutions to ensure the safety of the people.

One of the emergency measures that the authorities are implementing is to closely monitor the remaining traffic works in the province, to ensure that similar incidents do not occur. Along with that, the competent agencies will also review the construction process, acceptance and inspection of the work to avoid incidents after completion.

In addition, the authorities also commit to strictly handle units and individuals if there are mistakes in the process of construction, design, and supervision of the project. Clearly defining the responsibilities of each stakeholder will be a key factor to help people regain trust in the public transportation system of Tay Ninh province.
