Ho Chi Minh City - On January 1st, a large number of people in Ho Chi Minh City continued to leave the city for New Year holidays, causing congestion at the entrance to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway.

Recorded on the first day of the new year, the number of personal vehicles heading towards the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway increased sharply, causing prolonged congestion in this area.

Cars lined up, moving little by little to wait to get on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway. By more than 11 am on January 1, 2026, the traffic density was still high, but vehicles could still move onto the expressway. Functional forces had to open and close the expressway continuously to divert traffic.

Meanwhile, it is recorded that the An Phu intersection area is clear. Because, last night, the N2 overpass branch was opened to traffic, helping traffic flow conveniently from the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway to Mai Chi Tho street.

Although the city intersection points encountered great pressure, after overcoming these bottlenecks, vehicles traveling on the main expressway Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay towards Vung Tau and Phan Thiet were still quite stable, with no traffic jams on the bridge or expansion sections.

The traffic police force is still continuing to be on duty at key intersections to regulate and divert traffic flexibly based on actual vehicle density to minimize waiting time for people.
