Many roads in Can Tho are deeply flooded and jammed after the heaviest rain since the beginning of the year.

On the evening of October 14, after a heavy rain lasting more than 2 hours, many roads in the inner city of Can Tho were heavily flooded, jammed, and traffic at intersections was chaotic.

At the intersection of Nguyen Van Linh - 30/4; 3/2 - Nguyen Van Linh (Ninh Kieu district), traffic was jammed, with a long line of vehicles on the street. Many roads such as Tran Van Hoai, 30/4... were submerged in water.

Heavy rain lasting for hours caused many roads in Ninh Kieu district to be submerged in water.

People struggled to push their vehicles through flooded roads.

In Cai Rang district, the section across Quang Trung bridge; some areas of Binh Thuy district, were also submerged in water after prolonged rain.

Heavy rain caused flooding right at rush hour, causing serious congestion at many intersections.

Mr. Tin Lap (residing in Ninh Kieu district) said: “I traveled from 30/4 Street to Ba Bo Bridge on National Highway 91B, a route that normally takes me only about 10 minutes, but this afternoon it took me nearly 2 hours to get home. This is the heaviest rainstorm that has caused the most traffic jam since the beginning of the year.”

Heavy rain and lightning also caused many areas in Can Tho City to lose power for hours. At 8pm, the residential area of Can Tho University's faculty and staff still had no electricity.
