10-km traffic jam paralyzes Ho Chi Minh City eastern gateway as National Day holiday kicks off

At 8 a.m. on Saturday, the first of five consecutive days off for Vietnam’s National Day on Sept. 2, traffic congestion on Vo Chi Cong Street stretched for approximately 10 km between the My Thuy Interchange and Phu Huu Bridge.
Both directions heading toward central Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai City were densely packed with vehicles, forcing traffic to a crawl.
The sharp surge in volume occurred because the route serves as a vital link connecting the city’s eastern areas to the Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway.
