Road Management Office I.3 (Road Management Area I) said that on October 10, the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen expressway was still flooded locally at some locations such as: Km 28+800 - Km 29+050 was flooded about 60cm, about 150m long from Thai Nguyen to Hanoi; Km 28+850 - Km 29+050 was flooded about 15cm, about 100m long from Hanoi to Thai Nguyen.

The leader of the Vietnam Road Administration affirmed: Up to now, most of the national highways and expressways have basically been opened to traffic, only a few points managed by local authorities are still blocked due to deep flooding or large landslides. These areas have been diverted traffic from a distance to ensure safety and avoid congestion.

"The Vietnam Road Administration is continuing to direct units to urgently fix the problem and closely coordinate with localities to soon completely clear traffic at the remaining congested locations, ensuring safe and smooth traffic," said a leader of the Vietnam Road Administration.
