The investment project to build the Kenh Vang bridge and the road leading to both ends of the bridge, which will connect the two provinces of Bac Ninh and Hai Duong with a route length of about 13.4km is invested by the Bac Ninh Traffic Construction Project Management Board (Department of Transport) with a total cost of VND 2,182 billion. Among them, the Kenh Vang bridge is 740m long and 23.5m wide with a permanent scale with pre-stressed reinforced concrete structure; the road connecting the bridge's two ends is 12.6km long and the road surface is 15m wide.

Currently, the Bac Ninh Traffic Construction Project Management Board is completing procedures and preparing conditions for the project, which is set to start on September 7, 2024.

Directly inspecting the project in Trung Kenh commune, Luong Tai district, the Chairman emphasized that the investment project to build the Kenh Vang bridge is an important transportation project that demonstrates the province's determination to complete transportation infrastructure connecting the two provinces of Bac Ninh and Hai Duong.  The project takes on further significance since it starts on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the re-establishment of Luong Tai district (September 1999 - September 2024).

In that spirit, the Chairman requested Luong Tai district to identify this as a key project of the district, actively propagandize, mobilize and support resettlement so that people can soon hand over 100% of the site to the investor.

The Chairman assigned the Department of Transport to direct the Bac Ninh Traffic Construction Project Management Board and Luong Tai district to focus on human resources for the project and strive to integrate the Kenh Vang bridge to welcome the 21st Provincial Party Congress and complete it on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the re-establishment of Bac Ninh province.
