From early morning, a large number of vehicles travelling from Ho Chi Minh City and Southeastern localities to the Mekong Delta region across Rach Mieu Bridge caused traffic congestion.
A reporter of Sai Gon Giai Phong (SGGP) Newspaper said that thousands of means of transport moved slowly in the traffic congestion on the National Highway No.60's section through My Tho City, Tien Giang Province and Rach Mieu Bridge in the direction from Tien Giang to Ben Tre province.
In order to avoid prolonged traffic jams, traffic police forces of Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces coordinated to regulate vehicles through these areas.
Traffic regulation forces at Rach Mieu Bridge said that the volume of cars, trucks, passenger buses and motorbikes traveling to the Mekong Delta's localities through Rach Mieu Bridge surged sharply during this year’s New Year holiday compared to the same period of previous years.
