HÀ NỘI — Trucks carrying heavy loads and some coaches will be prohibited from traveling through a number of roads in Hà Nội during the 13th National Party Congress which opens next Monday.
In a bid to ease traffic flow for the important political event, lorries carrying 500kg and more and coaches with 24 passengers or above will be banned from certain streets.
Hundreds of politicians and delegates will be in the capital city from January 24 to February 2. During the week-long session top leaders will be picked to run the country for the next five years.
