On the afternoon of October 7, Hanoi still had 23 deeply flooded locations that were impassable.

According to the Department of Transport Infrastructure Maintenance (Department of Construction), as of 4 p.m. on October 7, due to the impact of storm No. 11, Hanoi had four more road incidents.

Specifically, on Den Soc Street, Route 2, heavy rain caused landslides and rock and soil to slide down onto the road surface and drainage ditches, causing traffic safety problems; Nguyen Trai Street (Khuat Duy Tien intersection); Van Phuc Street (Chu Van An intersection); Nguyen Tuan Street (Le Van Luong intersection) had arrow island pillars that collapsed and shifted.

Immediately after discovering the incident, the units temporarily barricaded the road, cleared the road to ensure traffic safety, and informed the people to regulate traffic.
