The Tam Trinh Road construction and investment project, which is over 3.5 km long, was approved by the Hanoi People’s Committee in 2012, started in 2016, and is expected to be completed after 3 years. The project starts at the intersection with Minh Khai Road, part of the 44-km Ring Road 2 and the 65-km Ring Road 3.
In 2012, the total investment for the project was 2,066 billion VND. By 2019, it had been adjusted to 3,354 billion VND, an increase of nearly 1,290 billion VND compared to the time of approval. However, after 12 years, the project remains stalled.
Currently, the project has only widened about 500 m of the section in front of Home 987 Tam Trinh, near Ring Road 3, which is only about 1/7th of the planned project. On this section of the road, the median strip has been planted with flowers and greenery, but the road surface shows signs of deterioration and damage.
The main reason for the project’s suspension is that local residents do not agree with the compensation and support prices and the sale prices for resettlement housing. Many households do not agree with the design plan for Tam Trinh Road, which is uneven, with some sections being 40 m wide and others up to 55 m wide (the section from Yen Duyen Street to Ring Road 3).
The expanded section of Tam Trinh Road has inadvertently created a “bottleneck” that makes it difficult for vehicles to move during rush hour. In 2024, Hoang Mai District aims to accelerate the progress of site clearance along the entire route and complete the road expansion project in 2026.
Tam Trinh Road is currently only 8-9 m wide and has no median strip. Despite its small size, it is heavily trafficked by large trucks and container vehicles, making it difficult for motorcycles to move and causing frequent traffic jams during rush hour.
The area from Yen So pumping station to Mai Dong bridge is densely populated on one side of the road, while the other side is bordered by the Kim Ngu River. This area is home to many shops. Despite the fact that the Yen So Ward People’s Committee has posted signs prohibiting market activities, people continue to sell on the sidewalk. Tam Trinh Road is littered with household waste and construction debris.
In the meantime, the construction of numerous apartment and urban projects has increased the demand for transportation, including: Helios 75 Tam Trinh Apartment, Gelexia Riverside 885 Tam Trinh Apartment, Louis City Hoang Mai Urban Area, Yen Duyen Urban Area, and others.
The Gamuda Gardens Hoang Mai urban area is particularly noteworthy. The 73-hectare Gamuda Gardens is one of the four main complexes in the Gamuda City project. Gamuda Gardens offers a wide range of low-rise and high-rise housing options, with prices ranging from 8.5 to 12 billion VND per unit and detached villas starting at 21 billion VND per unit.
When completed, Tam Trinh Road will connect Ring Road 2 to Ring Road 3 and is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the southern gateway of Hanoi.
