Many routes leading to Ho Chi Minh City have been overwhelmed by the large number of people flocking back to the southern metropolis as the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday is coming to an end.
Congestion occurred on Tuesday, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year festival, for many residents began to leave their hometown in the Mekong Delta for Ho Chi Minh City to resume work after the holiday.
Serious gridlock happened on National Highway 60 and the Rach Mieu Bridge in the Mekong Delta due to the immense volume of traffic from Ben Tre Province heading toward the southern hub.
Vehicles in both lanes for cars and motorbikes were traveling at a snail’s pace.
A collision between an automobile and a motorcycle on the bridge at around 5:00 pm the same day exacerbated the situation, with traffic police promptly removing both vehicles to clear the road.
