Deputy Director of the department Vo Khanh Hung said that the suspension will run from September 1 through September 2, to ensure smooth and safe travel for residents during the holiday.

For projects with barriers occupying existing roadways, investors may keep the barriers in place during the suspension period. However, the barriers must be narrowed to avoid affecting traffic.

Contractors must also clean up construction sites and ensure urban aesthetics and traffic safety throughout the holiday.

The department called on project owners and contractors to strictly comply with the requirements to help ensure smooth, safe traffic and environmental sanitation during the holiday.
