'Suffocating' with traffic jams at traffic black spots in Ho Chi Minh City

Hang Xanh intersection is one of many traffic black spots in Ho Chi Minh City that the Department of Transport is researching to reduce congestion.

According to Dan Viet reporters, every late afternoon, the gateway to Ho Chi Minh City - the Hang Xanh intersection area always experiences serious traffic jams.

Traffic congestion on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street, from Hang Xanh intersection to Martyrs' Monument intersection.

The road from Hang Xanh intersection to the Martyrs' Monument intersection is chaotic with vehicles jostling each other.

Mr. Nguyen Canh (residing in Thu Duc City) shared: "Traffic jams at the Hang Xanh intersection have been going on for a long time. When I drive through here, my hands and feet are numb because I constantly brake and put my feet down waiting to move. Everyone is fed up with this area."

According to many traffic participants, during rush hour, it takes them a long time to travel through the roads around Hang Xanh intersection.

Traffic congestion continues, drivers have to "go" through alleys but this situation still does not improve.

Hang Xanh intersection and two routes Xo Viet Nghe Tinh and Dinh Bo Linh are typical traffic congestion black spots in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to statistics, in the first 9 months of 2024, Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street (from Bach Dang to Dai Liet Si intersection) was congested 615 times; Dinh Bo Linh intersection was congested 588 times and Hang Xanh intersection was congested 161 times.

The HCM City Department of Transport has proposed that the city government prioritize investment in expanding Dinh Bo Linh Street and Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street from now until 2030. At the same time, the HCM City Department of Transport requested the consulting unit to add a research plan to build elevated roads at the gateways to the city's master plan, including National Highway 13, National Highway 1, National Highway 22, the North-South axis road and Binh Tien bridge.
