Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Police Department deployed a two-way expressway from Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City on September 2 to relieve congestion after the ceremony.

The expressway temporarily allowed cars to run in both directions from Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City on September 2, prohibiting cars in the opposite direction to avoid congestion when a large number of cars poured into the city after the ceremony.

This is the first time the above solution has been implemented by the Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police, to relieve the number of cars pouring into the city after the 5-day holiday.

Specifically, in the direction of Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City, vehicles are given priority to run on both highways and disperse in many directions when entering the city. In the Belt 3 and Ring 2 areas and branches C1 and C2, traffic police will guide a portion of vehicles to leave the expressway and follow Vo Chi Cong, High-Tech Park and connecting routes to limit vehicles from converging on An Phu intersection.

At the An Phu intersection area, drivers are also instructed to go down to Mai Chi Tho in the direction of the Saigon River tunnel or switch to routes D1, Vo Chi Cong, Dong Van Cong, depending on the actual situation.

In the direction of Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Nai, from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on September 2, all vehicles in that direction will not be allowed to go on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway. Before implementation, the authorities will close the highway entrances at the An Phu intersection, Phu Huu roundabout, Ring 2, Ring 3, and at the same time strengthen the force to guide and classify traffic remotely.

In case the vehicle is running on the highway in the direction of Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Nai when it is close to the time of traffic adjustment, it will be directed to exit at the branches to Do Xuan Hop, Vo Chi Cong or Belt 3.

During the ban from Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Nai, cars can choose alternative routes. Vehicles from Ho Chi Minh City center can go to Mai Chi Tho - Vo Nguyen Giap - Dong Nai bridge - Dong Nai; or Mai Chi Tho - Dong Van Cong - Nguyen Thi Dinh - Cat Lai ferry - Dong Nai.

For vehicles from the Vo Chi Cong street area, Phu Huu roundabout and surrounding areas, you can follow the route: Vo Chi Cong street - High-Tech Park - Vo Nguyen Giap - Dong Nai bridge. Or: Vo Chi Cong - My Thuy roundabout - Nguyen Thi Dinh - Cat Lai ferry - Dong Nai.

Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway is 55 km long, a lifeline connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Dong Nai, Ba Ria - Vung Tau (formerly) and the South Central provinces. Vehicle traffic is very large, so the route is often congested during holidays and Tet. Today, the direction from Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City has begun to experience prolonged congestion as people flock to the city after the holidays.

Some highways are also flexibly operated when the number of vehicles returning to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is large after the holiday season.

In the North, the 48 km long Cao Bo - Dai Xuyen section gives priority in both directions for vehicles returning to Hanoi on the afternoon of September 1. This plan can continue to be applied on September 2 when the number of vehicles returning to the capital increases.

At Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway, on the afternoon of September 1, traffic police used special motorbikes to guide cars through the emergency lane to escape congestion when the number of vehicles suddenly increased.
