TPO - On the afternoon of February 1, traffic at the gateway to the capital increased, with some roads being congested in the direction of the city center.

On the afternoon of February 1, the 8th day of the Lunar New Year holiday of At Ty 2025, traffic volume returning to Hanoi increased at the city's gateway.

Some routes such as the exit of Phap Van - Cau Gie highway (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) and the direction from Thanh Tri bridge to the traffic center are congested.

Many people returned to Hanoi early, even though tomorrow is the last day of Tet holiday.

Traffic volume on the route from Thanh Tri Bridge to Giai Phong has increased since early afternoon.

In the opposite direction from Giai Phong to Thanh Tri bridge, traffic also increased, causing congestion at the traffic light intersection.

Cars lined up and moved slowly.

People return to the capital with their belongings after Tet holiday.

It is forecasted that on February 1 and 2 (ie the 4th and 5th of the Lunar New Year 2025), the traffic volume from the provinces returning to Hanoi will increase. The Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police said that it has mobilized 100% of its staff to be on duty, deploying plans to regulate and separate traffic flows to ensure traffic order and safety (TTATGT), avoiding congestion at gateways and downtown areas.

Specifically, the traffic police force will concentrate on key routes such as the elevated Ring Road 3, Phap Van - Cau Gie, National Highway 1A, National Highway 5, National Highway 6, National Highway 32 and major bus stations to guide and divide traffic, limiting traffic conflicts.
