Phu Dinh Bridge, which crosses Ruot Ngua Canal and connects District 6 with District 8 (HCMC), is small but has a relatively large volume of traffic. During daily rush hours, this area is often crowded, sometimes with local congestion at the end of the bridge on the District 6 side.

Currently, Phu Dinh Bridge has a load limit of 1 ton and prohibits cars from circulating, causing difficulties in connecting traffic between the two districts, especially for small vehicles. Therefore, repairing and upgrading the bridge is very urgent.
