Today, Hanoi traffic continues to face many difficulties due to flooding on highways and national highways after prolonged heavy rains caused by storm Matmo. Many roads in the North of the city are deeply flooded, low-chassis vehicles cannot move, and authorities are forced to divert and restrict traffic in high-risk areas. In addition, water traffic control due to construction work has also been applied since this morning.
Highlights
1. Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway flooded by half a meter, restricting vehicle movement
The section of Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway passing through Trung Gia Commune (from Thai Nguyen to Hanoi) was flooded more than 50 cm deep over a length of about 100 m. Water overflowed into the opposite lane, affecting two-way traffic. Low-chassis cars could not pass, some vehicles stalled in the middle of the road. Traffic police have separated traffic from a distance and only allow high-chassis vehicles or light trucks to pass through this area. 
2. Restricting waterway traffic in the Me So and Hong Ha bridge areas from the morning of October 10
From 7:00 a.m. on October 10, the Northern Maritime and Waterways Department announced the restriction of standard waterway traffic at the two construction sections of Me So and Hong Ha bridges (in Hanoi). Waterway vehicles coming to this area must comply with the instructions of the traffic control force and the waterway signaling system. 
3. Prolonged flooding in Trung Gia - Soc Son, many roads are still submerged
The Hanoi Department of Construction updated that the flooding situation in Trung Gia commune, Soc Son is still complicated. Many roads such as National Highway 3, Route 35, Route 16, Hong Ky - Bac Son and Route 401 have water levels from 0.5 to more than 1 meter, making it impossible for vehicles to move normally. 
4. Proposal to close roads when flooding is 30 cm and redirect traffic
In the flood response scenario, Hanoi has proposed to close roads when the water level exceeds 30 cm and redirect traffic to ensure safety. When flooding exceeds this level, the roads are put into a "no traffic" state. 
5. Flooding impacts continue to affect expressways and national highways in the suburbs
Many expressways and national highways in the suburbs of the northern provinces continue to be flooded and eroded, affecting Hanoi through connecting routes. Vehicle relocation, incident handling and route adjustment are being urgently carried out.

Analysis & assessment
• The Hanoi - Thai Nguyen expressway being flooded by half a meter is clear evidence of the heavy flooding pressure from prolonged rain and the drainage system not really meeting the requirements.
• Restricting waterway traffic in the bridge construction area is necessary to ensure safety during construction and avoid waterway traffic incidents when the water level is high.
• Suburban areas such as Soc Son and Trung Gia have been identified as "old flooding spots" - the fact that the water level has not yet receded shows that flood prevention measures are not yet sustainable.
• The policy of closing roads when flooding is 30 cm deep, if strictly applied, will help reduce damage to people and vehicles, but requires a warning system, alternative routes and good propaganda for people to be proactive.

Conclusion & recommendations
On October 10, 2025, Hanoi traffic continues to be strongly affected by the prolonged flood. Flooding on highways, national highways and suburban areas is causing major obstacles to traffic. Measures to divert traffic, restrict waterway traffic and temporarily close roads are necessary in the current situation.
Recommendations for traffic participants in Hanoi:
• Avoid using highways and national highways that have been reported to be flooded, switch to alternative routes when possible.
• If you have to travel, choose high-chassis vehicles, avoid low-chassis vehicles through deep flooded areas.
• When passing through areas flooded with 30 cm or more, follow the instructions of the authorities, do not risk going through.
• People should monitor online traffic maps and weather warnings to adjust travel plans.
