Currently, many bridges across the Red River in Hanoi prohibit or restrict vehicles from crossing some bridges such as Long Bien and Chuong Duong bridges.
Therefore, the remaining bridges such as Thanh Tri, Vinh Tuy, and Thang Long will be under no small pressure.
According to local residents, some bridges such as Vinh Tuy are currently blocked. However, according to Lao Dong reporters at Thang Long Bridge at nearly 4:00 p.m. on September 11, traffic was still clear.
