TPO - Both invested and managed by Hanoi city, however, currently only one side of Vinh Tuy bridge is cleared of trash and maintained; the other side has no unit doing this work. As a result, the bridge was flooded into a river last week. On May 20, the investor's representative spoke up about this.

Phase 2 of Vinh Tuy Bridge (right) will be completed in August 2023. However, the two bridge lanes are currently being managed differently and are not synchronized. |
 |
The bridge lane on the right of the photo has a maintenance unit, maintains and collects garbage every day, however the new bridge lane (on the right of the photo) has been open to traffic for nearly a year but has not been handed over or managed, leading to garbage and wastewater always remaining. |
 |
On the morning of May 20, although it was not raining, the Vinh Tuy bridge from the inner city to Long Bien was still flooded with water and garbage. |
 |
There was even an old mat (circle) covering a section of the water collection pit. |
 |
Sacks and plastic bags rolled up by floodwaters block the mouth of a manhole. |
 |
Because one side of the road adjacent to the median strip and the motorbike lane is filled with garbage and wastewater, cars dare not enter and instead crowd into the remaining two lanes. |

In contrast to the opposite direction, the bridge in the direction of Long Bien - inner city is being cleaned, garbage is collected and there is no flooding when it rains. |
On May 20, speaking with Tien Phong reporter, a representative of the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (Traffic Board - investor of Vinh Tuy Bridge Phase 2 project) said that the Board had reported to the Hanoi Department of Transport on the cause of flooding on Vinh Tuy Bridge Phase 2.
Specifically, a representative of the Hanoi Transport Department said that the project was designed with a complete, technically correct and synchronous water collection and drainage system. However, because the project has not yet been handed over to the Hanoi Transport Department, the management of infrastructure, sanitation and garbage collection on the bridge surface has not been regular, so when it rains, garbage clogs the water collection and drainage system, leading to heavy rain and flooding.
Regarding the failure to hand over Vinh Tuy 2 Bridge, the representative of the Transport Department said that the project belongs to Group A with many documents and procedures, so the handover to the Hanoi Department of Transport will take a long time. However, the Department is currently completing the final procedures so that in May 2024, the Department will coordinate with relevant units to hand over the project to the Hanoi Department of Transport.
