The prime minister has ordered Hanoi police to investigate the cause of the fire that destroyed 500 motorbikes under the Vinh Tuy bridge and determine responsibility.
After a fire under the Vinh Tuy bridge damaged the concrete and exposed rebar, the Hanoi Department of Construction erected temporary support structures for the ramp leading down to Nguyen Khoai dyke in the former Hai Ba Trung district.
To ensure safety after a fire under the Vinh Tuy bridge, Hanoi's Department of Construction has restricted traffic on the ramp to vehicles under 18 tons.
Initial reports indicate approximately 500 motorbikes were destroyed in a parking lot fire under Hanoi's Vinh Tuy bridge, causing significant damage to the bridge's underside.
