Stopping the car, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Quan, a house in Toan Thang commune, Kim Dong district, Hung Yen province, said that his house in Hanoi returned to his hometown from 7 am this morning. However, he struggled for more than 2 hours on the 5B highway but could not go far away. He had to leave the highway to turn to the old Highway 39. Going into the small road for small roads is only a little bit better. Many cars also turn from the highway like England, so Highway 39 also congested.
