Cars are stuck in a 5km traffic jam on the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway due to flooding.

TPO - As of 2 PM this afternoon (September 14th), the section of the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway passing through Van Binh commune (Thuong Tin district, Hanoi ) is still flooded. Low-clearance vehicles are having difficulty navigating, and traffic is backed up for more than 5km in both directions.

The section of the Pháp Vân - Cầu Giẽ expressway passing through Văn Bình commune (Thường Tín district, Hanoi) is still flooded.

Vehicles were backed up for 5km. The flooded section, approximately 200m long, occurred in both directions on the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway. The lanes closest to the service road were even more deeply flooded than the lanes closest to the median.

The area surrounding this location is still extensively flooded.

The Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway experienced localized traffic congestion in both directions. The lane heading from Hanoi to the southern provinces was congested for approximately 5km. Long lines of vehicles also experienced the same situation in the opposite lane, towards the center of Hanoi.

The deepest point of the flooding is estimated to still range from 30 to 50 cm.

Also at this location, the highway service road is flooded quite deeply, ranging from 50cm to 1m. Only trucks and high-clearance vehicles can pass through.

In particular, several local roads passing through this section are flooded to a depth of over 2 meters.

Police officers worked hard to direct traffic onto the overpass section passing through Thuong Tin town.

A long line of vehicles stretched endlessly towards Hanoi.

By 2:30 PM, the traffic congestion appeared to be more severe on the lanes leading from Hanoi to the provinces. Today is the weekend, so many families have returned to their hometowns, and the flooding on this highway is significantly impacting travel routes.
