On the same day, the former president Truong Tan Sang, directors of Agricultural Bridge Program and representatives of sponsoring enterprises went to survey the actual location of bridges going to be built in Tri Ton district (An Giang province).

Tri Ton is a rural district located in the southwest of An Giang province, having borders with Cambodia. Most of the locals are ethnic minorities that mainly focus on agricultural production industry.

Former President Truong Tan Sang directly examined the locations.
Local authorities indicated that Tri Ton district currently had the highest rate of poor households in the province (12.45%). One of the reasons preventing the development of the area is undeveloped transportation system, especially rural traffic, in-field traffic. Therefore, the locality hopes businesses and benefactors can support and help in completing the project.
