Finding preventive measures against concrete corrosion and technical solutions to improve the performance, quality and long life of bridges in climate change is an issue with great importance to the construction industry, especially in the context of increasing climate change in the Mekong Delta region. This paper focuses on studying the causes of concrete corrosion and measures to prevent and overcome the corrosion of reinforced concrete bridges in the context of climate change. The usual solution is that we use some kind of coating on the reinforcement to limit corrosion such as cement - bitumen, cement - polystyrol, cement - paint. If the above measures are not able to protect reinforced concrete from the risk of corrosion, we should apply some other special scientific measures. These measures require expert advice. Depending on the specific project, there will be different methods because it depends on many factors such as topography, surrounding environment, concentration of corrosive agents, etc
