To facilitate public celebrations and fireworks viewing, vehicles will be prohibited from entering more than 20 central Ho Chi Minh City roads on the night of 16/2, according to an announcement from the City Traffic Police Department.

An underpass connecting the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway and Mai Chi Tho avenue will open late January, aiming to alleviate congestion at the An Phu interchange, the city's most complex traffic bottleneck.

The 159 km long ring road, traversing Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Tay Ninh, with a total investment exceeding 120.400 billion dong, is scheduled to commence construction between June and September 2026 and be completed in two years.

After over two months of construction, Binh Phuoc 1 bridge was raised by 1.25 m, allowing vehicles to resume normal traffic from the morning of 23/12, improving both road and waterway transportation.
