Project Management Board 3 under the Vietnam Road Administration (the unit assigned to manage the project to repair 6 bridges on National Highway 38, the section connecting National Highway 1 and National Highway 5 through Bac Ninh and Hai Duong provinces) has just proposed a plan to divert traffic through Ho Bridge on National Highway 38 during the repair period.

Accordingly, traffic on National Highway 38 from Bac Ninh City to Ho Bridge is diverted at 2 remote points: At the intersection of National Highway 38 and TL287, route Km8+400, vehicles enter TL278; at the intersection Km11+400, vehicles enter the old National Highway 38 and the on-site diverting point: At the intersection of National Highway 38 and TL279, route Km12+243, vehicles enter TL279 to cross Kinh Duong Vuong Bridge.

Vehicles traveling on National Highway 38 from Hai Duong to Ho Bridge are divided at 2 remote diversion points: At the intersection of National Highway 38 and National Highway 17, route Km16+600, vehicles enter National Highway 17; at the intersection of Km15+200, vehicles enter the North Canal Road and on-site diversion points: At the intersection of National Highway 38 and National Highway 280, route Km13+430, vehicles enter D20 Road to cross Kinh Duong Vuong Bridge.

Regarding repair work, at the request of the Vietnam Road Administration, the Ministry of Transport has adjusted the tasks and supplemented the national highway maintenance plan for 2024 from the road economic career capital source, in which the project to repair 6 bridges on National Highway 38 connecting National Highway 1 and National Highway 5 through Bac Ninh and Hai Duong provinces (including repairing Ho Bridge) is allocated a budget of 35 billion VND.

The Ho Bridge repair project is expected to start at the end of November, lasting 60 days.

Currently the bridge surface has degraded.

After more than 20 years of use, Ho Bridge connecting National Highway 38 running through Tan Chi Commune (Tien Du) and Ho Ward (Thuan Thanh Town) has affirmed its vital position in connecting and promoting trade and travel of people in the South and North of the Duong River, contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of Bac Ninh province.
