Units under the brigade are completing two approach slabs on the river banks in Lam Thao and Tam Nong districts of Phu Tho province.

They launched some spans of the pontoon bridge to check their technical conditions to ensure the safety of the future bridge.

The pontoon bridge will help facilitate travel of local people.

Below are some photos of the progress of the installation of Phong Chau pontoon bridge.
