During the time Hanoi city closes the road to serve the activities of the 80th National Day Anniversary, traveling to Hanoi Station may be difficult. The Railway industry recommends that passengers arrive at Hanoi Station at least 60 minutes before the train departs to ensure they do not miss their train. Hanoi Station will open an additional gate to receive passengers at Gate No. 1 Tran Quy Cap to facilitate travel.

Passengers should proactively plan their travel to avoid areas with traffic restrictions; regularly monitor information about routes and road closure times to arrive early to avoid congestion: 11:30 a.m. - 3 a.m. from August 21 to 22; 3 p.m. - 3 a.m. from August 24 to 25; 3 p.m. - 3 a.m. from August 27 to 28; 6 p.m. - 3 p.m. from August 29 to 30; 6 p.m. - 3 p.m. from September 1 to September 2./.
