Ferry maintenance time is from 6am to 8pm every day. After 8pm, the unit will carry out maintenance and repair of the ferry and tug. When hydrological conditions permit, the unit will reconnect the pontoon bridge to serve people's travel.

Previously, from 5:00 a.m. on July 24, due to rising flood waters and large amounts of unsafe garbage, the unit had to cut the bridge and temporarily stop securing the bridge and ferry at Phong Chau wharf, helping people travel smoothly, saving 30-40km when having to go through Van Lang or Ngoc Thap bridges.

After nearly a year of building pontoon bridges, ensuring traffic by bridge and ferry to serve the people on both sides of Tam Nong and Phung Nguyen, Phu Tho province, officers and soldiers of Brigade 249, Engineering Corps, did not mind the difficulties of dark nights, sun, rain, floods, cold, ensuring the absolute safety of hundreds of thousands of cars, motorbikes, rudimentary vehicles and pedestrians crossing the river, leaving a lot of affection with the people here.

According to plan, in early October 2025, Phong Chau bridge will be closed and open to traffic, people will travel much more conveniently, but the impression after each time crossing the pontoon bridge and the military ferries across the river will last forever.
