Today (9/10), passenger trains from Hanoi to Hai Phong departing and crossing the Long Bien Bridge will disembark at Gia Lam Station.
Simultaneously, all freight trains from the north (from Lao Cai) to Hanoi will be temporarily halted as they cannot pass through the Long Bien Bridge and the belt road (Ha Dong – Van Dien) due to flooding.
“Currently, the railway system in Hanoi is heavily inundated. Giáp Bát station is unable to handle cargo loading and unloading. The northern belt road from Bắc Hồng to Văn Điển is impassable, preventing cargo transportation between Dong Anh, Yen Vien, and Gia Bat stations,” said Mr. Hoan, providing an overview of the situation.
The rising water levels of the Red River pose a threat to the Long Bien Bridge’s safety.
According to Mr. Hoan, approximately 14 trains cross the Long Bien Bridge daily, including eight Hanoi-Hai Phong trains, two Hanoi-Lao Cai trains, and four freight trains. The suspension will remain in effect until the flood situation improves.
Mr. Tran Thien Canh, Director of Vietnam Railways, stated that they have instructed units to halt train operations on the Hanoi-Lao Cai route due to flooding and on the Yen Bai-Lao Cai route due to ongoing landslides. The bureau is conducting a thorough review of unsafe areas, particularly bridges, to consider suspending operations to ensure the safety of passengers and local residents.
