    After the Phong Chau Bridge collapsed, almost all trucks and passenger cars wanting to cross the river had to go through Ngoc Thap Bridge. According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters in mid-October, the traffic volume through this bridge was very large, however, there will not be many concerns about safety because this is a new bridge, with a very solid reinforced concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete structure.
