The previously-scheduled short closure is in service for the compulsory testing of the bridge load in line with the engineering regulations.  

During the closing of the overpass, in order to pass through the September 2 - Duy Tan intersection, vehicles have to temporarily travel on the two frontage roads along the overpass.

The overall technical acceptance testing on the whole project must be completed before February 28, 2022. Therefore, the overpass route needs to be tested for the load according to the regulations.

The overpass has been open to traffic since July 14, 2021.

It is 191.4m long, including 5 spans of steel box girders combined with reinforced concrete slabs with a width of 14m and a system of approach and frontage roads.
