Regarding the safety of the Chuong Duong bridge railing system, the leader of the Hanoi Department of Transport said that on the night of November 3 after the accident, the units under the Department inspected, checked and welded to reinforce the collapsed railing positions. Currently, vehicles can pass normally on the outermost lane of the bridge in the direction of the city center.
Previously, at 7:30 p.m. on November 3, a Mercedes traveling from Long Bien to the center of Hanoi suddenly crashed through the railing of Chuong Duong Bridge and fell into the Red River. Authorities dispatched nearly 20 ships and canoes to search, including the rescue team of the Hanoi Police and the rescue team of the Capital Command. It took the search team 5 hours to salvage the car to shore, with two bodies inside.
