As observed, traffic movement on the overpass was ensured in a safe manner as all road users strictly complied with the traffic regulations.

According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoang, Deputy Director of the Management Board of Da Nang Traffic Construction Investment Projects, functional forces such as traffic police officers and inspectors were on duty to regulate traffic circulating on the overpass, and remind road users against going in the wrong lanes.

For the time being, road users are banned from travelling through the Duy Tan – September 2 streets, and Duy Tan – Nui Thanh intersections. Instead, all kinds of vehicles are permitted to travel along the Nui Thanh – Tieu La (or Nguyen Son Tra) – September 2 – the overpass – September 2 – Phan Thanh Tai (or Binh Minh 6) – Nui Thanh route.
