Tien Giang - The Traffic Police of Tien Giang Province Police have been on duty at hot spots to regulate the flow of people from the West to Ho Chi Minh City.

On May 3, people from provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta region drove their vehicles to provinces and cities in the Southeast region to return to work after the April 30 holiday, causing increased traffic volume.

At Rach Mieu Bridge, the increased traffic volume caused local traffic congestion on both sides of the bridge. To avoid traffic congestion, the Traffic Police Department of Tien Giang Provincial Police has deployed forces to be on duty, coordinating with the Traffic Police Department of Ben Tre Provincial Police to regulate traffic.

Accordingly, in order to reduce congestion on the Ben Tre shore, the Traffic Police of Tien Giang Province Police blocked vehicles from Tien Giang to prioritize vehicles from Ben Tre moving through Rach Mieu Bridge and vice versa.
