Yesterday, city authorities announced that the area that will be cordoned off to vehicle traffic for Reunification Day festivities has been expanded.
The Transportation Department didn’t give any insight as to why it decided to expand the roadblock further east from Le Thanh Ton to Ton Duc Thang at the last minute, reports VnExpress.
The new zone will now be bounded by: Cach Mang Thang Tam - Nguyen Thi Minh Khai - Nguyen Binh Khiem - Nguyen Huu Canh - Ton Duc Thang - Ham Nghi - Le Lai and Pham Hong Thai Streets.
All vehicles will be prohibited from these roads save for Le Lai, Cach Mang Thang Tam, Pham Hong Thai and Ham Nghi during rehearsals (7pm to 12am on April 24 and 4am to 12pm on April 26) and on the day of the events (4am to 12pm on April 30).
