VietNamNet Bridge – Because of high flood tide on the Saigon River, hundreds of barges couldn’t go through Binh Trieu bridge on November 7. Hundreds of barges had to queue for nearly ten kilometers  waiting until water went down.

A nearly four-hour heavy rain together with high tide on November 6 afternoon caused severe flooding and traffic gridlock along several streets in HCM City.

In Binh Thanh District, the knee-deep floodwaters left several motorcycles broked along streets like Dinh Tien Hoang, Xo Viet Nghe Tinh, Bach Dang, D2, D3, and Binh Quoi.

Several people were found continuously bailing water out of their homes during the rain along D3 and alleys on Dien Bien Phu Street.

In District 4, the waters caused flooding and traffic jam on Khanh Hoi and Hoang Dieu streets. Two of the worst inundated streets in the area were Nguyen Huu Hao and 37, where nearly entire motorcycle wheels were submerged by floodwaters.

Along Hanoi Highway in District 2, the rain also flooded the road for two-wheel vehicles, which goes in the direction ofThu Duc District.

The situatoin was not better along streets like An Duong Vuong and Hau Giang in District 6, Chau Van Liem in District 5 and Huynh Tan Phat in District 7.
