Looking from above, a series of construction barriers surround the roads towards An Phu intersection. The appearance of many barriers has reduced the lane area, making traffic conditions more complicated and chaotic.
Mr. Vu Nhat Thinh (residing in Thu Duc City) said that An Phu intersection is a traffic jam hot spot, especially during rush hours. “Since the project was here, people have had difficulty traveling, there are traffic jams every day. Especially on the upcoming September 2nd holiday, I am worried that many vehicles will flock to the highway, making long traffic jams difficult to avoid. I hope the traffic works will be completed soon and traffic will be more convenient," Mr. Thinh said.
