The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport on Wednesday announced a plan to temporarily halt the construction of road works during the western and lunar New Year celebrations.

Specifically, for the road works involving the installation of technical infrastructure, the construction will be halted from December 31 to January 1, 2011.

Companies have been ordered to urgently restore any road surface that may need repairing, and to clean construction sites well before December 31.

With regard to drainage system upgrading projects, they will be permitted to keep railings around the construction site, but will have to clean the area thoroughly.

During the Tet holidays, the technical infrastructure installation will be ceased from January 18 to February 10.

Execution units have to clean up the sites and restore any road surface that may need repairing before January 26.
