The rain has stopped, but the Thang Long Boulevard service road is still submerged in water.

At 1 p.m. on September 28, although the rain had gradually stopped, the Thang Long Boulevard service road was still quite flooded. On the car lane, traffic jams stretched for several kilometers from Trung Hoa intersection to Thien Duong Bao Son area.

This is the stretch of road that gets flooded every time Hanoi has a long, heavy rain. Many vehicles come from far away and have few lanes to avoid, forcing them to go straight through many sections of water.

Some people got off their motorbikes and walked here, some people tried to cross the flooded section and their motorbikes died.

At a branch road leading to the overpass, a bus and a truck stalled in the deepest section of water (over 60cm).

This bus was traveling from Hoa Binh to Hanoi. “I had to ask passengers to get off the bus and call a motorbike taxi to go home. I don’t know what to do now,” the driver said.

Mr. Vinh, the truck driver, kept calling the company for help because the truck had been stuck there for an hour.

Although this truck had a high chassis, the water only reached half the wheels, but in some sections it was deeply submerged and the strong waves caused the engine to malfunction.

Another driver stopped at the beginning of the flooded area to direct traffic and warn people not to enter this road.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, last night and this morning (September 28), in the North and from Thanh Hoa to Quang Binh there will be moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms; in the Northern Delta region, the provinces of Yen Bai , Son La, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa will have heavy to very heavy rain.
