The Traffic Police Division (PC08) under the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Public Security made the announcement. The traffic restriction aims to accommodate a technology exhibition and New Year 2026 music and arts program.
Under the plan, the lane for cars will be closed from midnight on January 6 to midnight on January 12.
As for alternative routes, vehicles can take the mixed-use lane on Le Loi Street or neighboring streets such as Ham Nghi and Le Thanh Ton. Cross streets, including Pasteur, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Phan Boi Chau, remain open.
Drivers passing through the streets must reduce speed, follow instructions from authorities and traffic signals, and avoid stopping or parking on the mixed-use lane of Le Loi Street or at intersections that could obstruct traffic.
