The construction department has coordinated with relevant agencies in recent months to maintain order and safety at Van Trung and Quang Chau industrial parks but heavy congestion persists during rush hours from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. along the frontage roads parallel to the Hanoi–Bac Giang expressway, especially near Hoang Mai residential area in Nenh ward.

PPC Chairman Vuong Quoc Tuan and delegates inspect traffic organization at Van Trung and Quang Chau industrial parks.

Officials attributed the gridlock to overlapping work shifts of tens of thousands of workers, limited road connections, weak traffic discipline, and vendors encroaching on roadways. Most vehicles funnel through frontage roads along the expressway, causing bottlenecks.

Local authorities proposed short-term solutions including clearing road encroachments, installing more signage, adjusting traffic flows and deploying additional police during peak hours.

After listening to reports, the PPC Chairman Tuan called easing congestion in industrial zones an urgent priority, stressing coordinated, long-term measures.

“Traffic organization and control are decisive,” he said, noting that existing cooperation between police and localities had produced only limited results.

He tasked the construction department, provincial police and Nenh ward with drafting a comprehensive traffic plan before September 30, including which intersections to close or open.

Police must be on duty from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. daily. Cameras should be installed for monitoring, with funding allocated by the finance department, and completion required by Oct. 30.

He also urged resolving traffic conflicts at the Sen Ho–Truc Tay crossroads, expanding rural roads where possible, and accelerating frontage road widening projects, including the Nhu Nguyet bottleneck. Longer-term plans include an overpass linking industrial parks and residential areas, targeted for groundbreaking in early 2026.

“The entire traffic management system must be in place immediately,” Tuan said. “Failure to act will hurt industrial operations, the investment climate, and workers’ lives.”

Later the same day, the PPC Chairman inspected Cam Ly bridge project at Km24+134 on the Kep–Ha Long railway, funded by the central government and scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025.

The project is under construction but faces delays due to land clearance problems, especially a two-hectare plot in Bac Lung commune.

The Cam Ly railway bridge is being accelerated.

Calling the bridge “a vital transport project,” he urged local authorities to hand over cleared land by the end of September. He instructed compensation and resettlement to be handled transparently, ensuring residents’ rights while maintaining public consensus.

Resettled households have already accepted new plots and agreed to relocation plans. The provincial leader directed local officials to approve resettlement quickly and encourage families to dismantle homes by September 30. Infrastructure such as electricity and water must be ready at relocation sites by September 20 so residents can rebuild and stabilize their lives.

“All agencies must work with the highest determination to meet these deadlines,” Tuan said. “The bridge must be completed on schedule.”
