From 11:30 AM on September 12, 2024, Hoa Binh City officially prohibits trucks with a load capacity of 1.5 tons or more from circulating on Hoa Binh Bridge at all times. This decision was made according to Official Letter No. 1318/UBND-KTN of the Provincial People’s Committee and Notice No. 129/TB-UBND of the Hoa Binh City People’s Committee, to ensure traffic safety, reduce congestion, and protect the bridge’s infrastructure.
Hoa Binh City Truck Ban: Reasons and Scope
Reasons for the Hoa Binh City Truck Ban:

- Traffic flow across Hoa Binh Bridge is very high, especially during peak hours. Heavy trucks move slowly, easily causing congestion, affecting people’s travel.
- The truck ban aims to ensure the safety of road users and limit potential traffic accidents.
Scope of Application:
- Vehicle Type: Trucks with a load capacity of 1.5 tons or more.
- Time: All hours of the day.
- Location: Hoa Binh Bridge (Hoa Binh Bridge 1).
Hoa Binh City Truck Ban: Rerouting and Enforcement
The Hoa Binh City People’s Committee has requested the Provincial Police Department’s Traffic Police Division and the City Police to coordinate the deployment and traffic rerouting according to regulations. Functional forces will increase patrols, inspections, and strictly handle violations.
