Changing Lives Together: An OPEC Fund Video Series Viet Nam: For many residents of Vinh Yen City, traveling between the northern urban center and the southern communities once meant a long journey around Dam Vac Lake. The construction of the Dam Vac Bridge has transformed daily mobility, cutting travel distances and making it easier for people to reach jobs, schools and healthcare services. The project connects neighborhoods across the lake and links the area more directly to the national road network, improving accessibility and supporting local economic activity. This story follows a resident who regularly crosses the bridge—such as a worker, student or small business owner—showing how improved transport infrastructure is saving time, reducing costs and opening new opportunities.
