Solutions to reduce traffic congestion in the inner city.

Once operational, the Ngoc Hoi Bridge and its access roads will help redistribute traffic flow, especially vehicles traveling from the North and Northwest towards the Southeast of the city, without having to pass through the city center. This will contribute to reducing congestion on existing major routes such as Ring Road 3, Giai Phong Road (National Highway 1A), and Road 70. At the same time, the project will also help alleviate traffic on other bridges crossing the Red River, such as Chuong Duong, Vinh Tuy, Thang Long, and Nhat Tan bridges.
