According to records, on the afternoon of September 4, a heavy rain occurred in Trang Bom commune at 10:20 p.m., right at rush hour, making the traffic jam even more serious.
Many vehicles have to move little by little to get through the dense road packed with motorbikes, cars, trucks, etc.
To escape the traffic jam on National Highway 1, many vehicles rushed onto the national highway parallel routes and inner-city routes in Trang Bom commune. However, these routes are also very crowded with vehicles, causing traffic chaos.
It was recorded that there was still congestion until after 6:00 p.m. the same day.
A resident living in Trang Bom commune shared: The section of National Highway 1 through Trang Bom commune is often congested, not only on holidays but also on normal days.
The area with the most congestion is from the toll station to the intersection of National Highway 1 and Vo Nguyen Giap Street.
