Traffic Jam on Nguyen Van Troi street
This is becoming all too common these days. Well, for awhile now. Traffic jams related to the construction lasts all day now. This particular traffic jam may be annoying for most. The barricade on Nguyen Van Troi is actually for some equipment, well it looks that way.
The problem is that it looks out of place since all of the construction is further down the road towards Tan Binh.

Parts of the canal has barricades with good views of the canal. The fences remain up even after the construction finished.
This is Saigon…

Traffic jams are much worse now due to the pollution and dust. I try to avoid them but with the new construction barriers, they are hard to avoid. Another rough year…
