From October 31 to November 3, the Traffic Infrastructure and Maintenance Project Management Board under the Department of Transport will load test and inspect 3 bridges including: Cay bridge at km8+650, provincial road 394 (Binh Giang); Van Thai bridge at km10+630, provincial road 394C (Cam Giang) and Lai bridge at km1+650, provincial road 398B (Chi Linh city).

Load testing and inspection time for Cay bridge is from October 31 to November 1; Van Thai bridge from November 1 to 2 and Lai bridge from November 2 to 3.

The bridges will be load tested from 10pm the night before to 4am the next day. During the load test, all traffic will be stopped for a maximum of 15 minutes per measurement. The load test process will be repeated until the work is completed.

After each load test, vehicles and machinery must move and assemble in a location that does not affect traffic on the roads. The time interval between load tests must ensure that all vehicles stop and wait to safely pass through the bridge.

Vehicles waiting for load testing must be guided to stop and park in a line in front of the bridge approach road. When traffic is heavy and there are signs of congestion, the road will be cleared to ensure traffic on the route.
