Nguyen Huu Canh Overpass Sags, Water Pools After Repairs

The Nguyen Huu Canh overpass in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has been plagued by issues just two years after undergoing repairs. Recent heavy rainfall has led to water pooling on the bridge deck, particularly at the central span where a cable failure occurred in 2022. This location, previously subject to a cable break, is now exhibiting signs of further sagging. Concerns regarding the quality of the repairs and potential safety risks have been raised. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has ordered a comprehensive inspection of the bridge, demanding immediate action to ensure the safety of traffic. This includes addressing the uneven bridge surface, improving drainage, and thoroughly examining the bridge structure.
