Once dark and dangerous, a rural road in the northern province of Bac Ninh’s Hoai Thuong commune is now equipped with a lighting network.

With costs exceeding 200 million VND (9,216 USD), 10.5 kilometres of the road have been lit up, contributing to safer transportation in the locality, which is attributed to a project initiated by Canon Vietnam Co. Ltd.

Michio Motohashi, Deputy Director General of the company, shared that the village road lighting project is part of Canon Vietnam’s social activities to support traffic safety and enhance rural development.

Implemented over three years, the project has thus far covered 30 kilometres of street lamps across the province’s Que Vo, Tien Du, Thuan Thanh and Gia Binh districts.
