Hope Foundation has commenced construction of six rural bridges and inaugurated another completed bridge in southern Vietnam as part of its ongoing efforts to improve local transport connectivity and support community development. The projects are being implemented in Dong Thap and Tay Ninh provinces under the foundation’s The Road to School programme.
On June 2, 2026, construction began on Hope Bridge 457 in Phong Hoa Commune, Dong Thap Province, replacing an aging and deteriorated structure that no longer met local transportation needs. Three additional bridges—Hope Bridges 453, 455 and 456—also broke ground on the same day in Phong Hoa and Tan Phu Trung communes. The projects are intended to improve mobility for residents, facilitate the transport of agricultural products and provide safer access to schools for students. Funding support has been provided by Roche Vietnam and lecturers and students from FPT Polytechnic College.
The foundation also inaugurated Hope Bridge 443 in Phu Tho Commune, Dong Thap Province. The new reinforced-concrete bridge replaces a severely damaged crossing that had posed safety risks and hindered local travel and agricultural transportation. Earlier, Hope Bridges 454 and 458 were launched in Tay Ninh Province with financial support from FPT Corporation and the FPT for Community Fund. Since its establishment in 2018, the The Road to School programme has delivered more than 470 Hope Bridges across multiple provinces, helping improve rural transport networks, community accessibility and local economic development.
