Accordingly, for land, Brigade 249 - Engineer Corps requested the Tam Nong and Lam Thao District Police to send forces to organize traffic flow, regulate traffic and monitor the load of vehicles crossing the bridge (only vehicles with a load capacity of ≤10 tons are allowed to cross the bridge) at the barrier stations from the National Highway 32 and Provincial Road 320 turning into the overpass. Within the area from the barrier station to the wharf and the area on the pontoon bridge, the Brigade's forces will command, operate traffic and ensure technical safety.

When organizing the bridge, it is recommended to announce that filming, recording and gathering to prevent soldiers from performing their duties are strictly prohibited. It is recommended that localities establish civil defense groups at village entrances and alleys to prevent people and vehicles from operating on the roads and wharf areas within the unit's bridging scope, especially on both banks of the river.

Currently, the authorities continue to reinforce the approach road, renovate and build the overpass, assess the water level and flow, and when conditions are favorable and safety is ensured, they will install the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge will ensure traffic from 6am to 8pm every day, starting after the bridge is opened. Photo: To Cong.
