TPO - Due to many flooded sections of the frontage roads on both sides of Thang Long Avenue, the Hanoi Department of Transport has just come up with a traffic diversion plan to allow motorbikes and buses to go onto the expressway lane to avoid flooding.
Hanoi Department of Transport said that due to the impact of storm No. 3, the provinces and cities in the northern region continued to experience heavy rain, hydroelectric plants had to discharge flood water, leading to rising water levels in rivers in the city, causing flooding in many locations on the Thang Long Boulevard service road (both sides) and in some residential underpasses.

On the left side of the route, from Km 16+500 (entrance to the Sai Son overpass intersection) to Km 7+00 (exit to the railway underpass intersection); from Km 28+300 (entrance to the Lang - Hoa Lac High-Tech Park intersection) to Km 20+00 (exit to the provincial road 80 intersection).
During this ban, buses are allowed to travel on Thang Long Avenue, with a maximum speed of 60km/h. Motorcycles and non-motorized vehicles are allowed to travel on the emergency lane of Thang Long Avenue, with a maximum speed of 40km/h.
