Dong Quang Bridge
Dong Quang Bridge started construction on November 28, 2014 and was inaugurated on December 20, 2015. This bridge crosses the Da River connecting Tu Vu commune, Phu Tho province (before the merger, Dong Trung commune, Thanh Thuy district) with Bat Dat commune, Hanoi city (before the merger, Minh Quang commune, Ba Vi district).
Dong Quang Bridge connects Provincial Road 317 on the Phu Tho side (upstream) with Provincial Road 414 of Hanoi city (upstream). The bridge's name is combined from two locations at both ends of the bridge, Dong Luan commune (old) and Minh Quang commune (old).
The bridge is 746 m long, the bridge surface has two lanes and is 10 m wide; the approach roads at both ends of the bridge are 1,674 m long according to the standards of level III of the plains (upstream of Hanoi Bridge) and level III of the mountainous areas (upstream of Phu Tho Bridge).
This project has a total investment of more than 510 billion VND. For nearly 10 years, Dong Quang Bridge has contributed to completing the transport infrastructure system, connecting Phu Tho province with Hanoi and transportation in the region.
In particular, the bridge plays a very important role in exploiting and promoting the tourism potential of the former Thanh Thuy district as well as neighboring areas, contributing to the overall development of the local economy and society.
Trung Ha Bridge
About 19 km downstream of Dong Quang bridge is Trung Ha bridge, this is a large bridge located on National Highway 32, spanning the Da river connecting Tam Nong commune (before merging, it was Dan Quyen commune, Tam Nong district) with Vat Lai commune, Hanoi city (before merging, it was Thai Hoa commune, Ba Vi district).
Trung Ha Bridge started construction on November 10, 1999 and was inaugurated on April 20, 2002. The bridge is 743.6 m long, including 14 spans, 11 m wide, the permanent bridge structure is made of prestressed reinforced concrete; the boat clearance is 90 m wide, 7 m high.
In 2024, due to the bridge's deterioration, especially the T11 and T12 bridge piers on the banks of Phu Tho province, the Department of Transport of Phu Tho province (now the Department of Construction) has invested in repairing and reinforcing it.
For many months, Trung Ha bridge has continuously had to ban vehicles from passing or limit the load. By the end of November 2024, after the repair is completed, vehicles can move normally across the bridge.
Van Lang Bridge
Van Lang Bridge is a bridge across the Red River, connecting Thanh Mieu Ward, Phu Tho Province (before merging Tho Son Ward, Viet Tri City) with Co Do Commune, Hanoi City (before merging, Phu Cuong Commune, Ba Vi District).
The total length of the bridge and the main roads at both ends of the bridge is about 9.46 km. Of which, the length of the approach road to Phu Tho is about 0.26 km, the length of the river crossing is about 1.55 km, the length of the approach road to Hanoi is about 7.54 km.
The project has a total investment of more than 1,460 billion VND, started construction on August 1, 2016 and opened to traffic on October 10, 2018.
Since its opening to traffic, Van Lang Bridge has helped shorten the distance from the administrative - political center of Phu Tho province to Hanoi. Not only that, in recent months, since the Phong Chau bridge collapse incident, along with Ngoc Thap bridge, Van Lang bridge has been an important bridge to ensure smooth traffic.
Vinh Thinh Bridge
Vinh Thinh Bridge is the longest river-crossing bridge in Vietnam, built across the Red River connecting Vinh Tuong Commune, Phu Tho Province (before merging Vinh Tuong District, Vinh Phuc Province) with Son Tay Ward, Hanoi City (before merging, Duong Lam Commune, Son Tay Town).
This bridge is permanently designed with reinforced concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete, with an overall length of 5,487 m, of which the bridge is 4,480 m long and the roads at both ends of the bridge are 1,007 m long.

The project has a total investment of 137 million USD, invested from the ODA loan of the Korean Government through the Korea Development Cooperation Fund (EDCS) and counterpart funds of the Vietnamese Government. In June 2014, Vinh Thinh Bridge officially opened to traffic.
Over the past 10 years, this important project has shortened the distance of dozens of kilometers from the western area of Hanoi connecting with the Noi Bai - Lao Cai expressway, Ho Chi Minh road to the northern provinces, contributing to promoting the socio-economic development of urban areas and neighboring provinces of Hanoi.
