Streets in Ho Chi Minh City’s Go Vap District have been blocked for months while the city was finishing an overpass leading to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, a project aimed at clearing chronic traffic congestion on the way to Vietnam's biggest airport. |
The barriers, however, have triggered serious gridlock. |
Tired faces in the morning... |
…and in the afternoon. |
The chaos around Nguyen Oanh Street. |
This man couldn't find space to make a U-turn, so he chose the sidewalk. |
One branch of the overpass was finished in January before the other was completed earlier this week. |
“Traffic jams last from dusk till dawn. It’s complete chaos whenever a police officer is not in sight as people do anything they want,” a local named Nguyen Thi Mai told VnExpress. |
