Additionally, from 7/2 to 3/3, the Construction Department has ordered a city-wide suspension of road and sidewalk construction for the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year holiday in 2026. Exceptions apply only to emergency repairs and key projects explicitly licensed by the City People's Committee and the Construction Department.
During these suspension periods, the Construction Department urges city police and inspectors to enhance coordination, inspect, and address any violations by investors, project management boards, and contractors.
