  • Traffic remained heavily congested on several roads leading toward central Hanoi after the five-day National Day holiday ended.
  • Vehicles moved slowly on Tran Phu, Quang Trung, Ring Road 2, Thang Long Bridge and at Nga Tu So intersection, even after the morning rush hour.
  • The congestion resulted from people returning to Hanoi for work from other provinces.

Hanoi’s main roads remained jammed on the morning of Sept. 3 as people returned to the capital after the five-day National Day holiday.

At around 9 a.m., traffic on Tran Phu Street in Ha Dong Ward stretched for several kilometers. Although the peak commuting period had ended, vehicles heading toward central Hanoi moved only a few meters at a time.

Both directions of Quang Trung Street also saw a sharp increase in traffic compared with ordinary days. Vehicles on Thang Long Bridge, heading toward Hanoi’s outskirts, took more than 10 minutes to clear the bridge.

Ring Road 2 remained crowded, with traffic moving slowly, while vehicles arriving from all directions caused difficult conditions at the Nga Tu So intersection. Most of the congestion affected routes from the outskirts toward central Hanoi.
