Traffic jams 'layer upon layer' on the gateway roads of Ho Chi Minh City near the end of the year

Thousands of vehicles are stuck, inching along Truong Chinh Street, heading towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City to get to work and school on the last day of the year.

Thousands of vehicles are stuck, inching along Truong Chinh Street, heading towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City to get to work and school on the last day of the year.

During rush hour on the morning of December 27, Truong Chinh Street, passing through District 12 and Tan Phu District, heading towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City, experienced a prolonged traffic jam. According to VietNamNet, there were no traffic collisions or explosions in this area. The reason is that at the end of the year, the increase in traffic volume along with traffic conflicts at intersections such as Truong Chinh - Phan Huy Ich, Truong Chinh - Tay Thanh has caused congestion.

Ms. Tran Thi Hoa - resident of District 12 (HCMC) said that it has been a long time since Truong Chinh Street was as congested as today. It took her more than 30 minutes to ride her motorbike out of the section from Tham Luong Bridge to the intersection of Truong Chinh and Tay Thanh.

"The road is about 1km long, but this morning the traffic jam was so severe that I had to move meter by meter, which was very difficult," Ms. Hoa said.

At 8:20 a.m., people were still stuck crossing Tham Luong bridge, connecting district 12 with Tan Phu district.

Some people choose to turn around because of the 'no way out' traffic jam ahead.

Traffic jams make it take people a long time to get to work or school.
