The project for the road connecting Nguyen Van Cu and Ngoc Thuy streets has a length of over 1.5 km and a capital investment of over VND 1,200 billion. This is one of the key technical infrastructure projects of the city, assigned to Long Bien District, and is a commemorative project for the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (10/10/1954 – 10/10/2024).
The project starts at Nguyen Van Cu Street, where a direct overpass is constructed towards Co Linh Street (crossing Nguyen Van Cu Street) with a total bridge width of 12 m and a length of 211 m.
The endpoint of the project intersects with Ngoc Thuy Dyke, where there is a resettlement area for Ngoc Thuy Ward. To implement the project, land from approximately 485 households, individuals, and organizations must be reclaimed, with about 176 households being resettled.
The road has a cross-section width of 40 m and includes the synchronous construction of roads, sidewalks, traffic organization, greenery, lighting, water supply and drainage, telecommunications, and power supply according to the planning.
The project commenced construction in 2018 and was expected to be completed within two years. However, due to challenges in site clearance and the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the project encountered setbacks and delays.
The road passes through Tai Trau Lake, dividing the lake into two parts, and the National Railway Bridge on the Hanoi-Lang Son route will be restored upon the project’s completion.
This is the final section of the inter-regional road system, serving as a central ring road for the district. The completion of this road section creates a seamless transportation link from the Dong Tru area to Vinh Tuy and Thanh Tri Bridges, connecting to the Hanoi-Haiphong Highway, thus contributing to the improvement of the district’s transportation network.
Specifically, Dong Tru, Vinh Tuy, and Thanh Tri Bridges play a pivotal role in connecting the gateway to the capital. The Hanoi-Haiphong Highway is Vietnam’s first highway built to international standards, spanning over 105 km with a total investment of more than VND 45,000 billion. The starting point of the highway is located on Hanoi’s Ring Road 3, just over 1 km from Thanh Tri Bridge.
The official opening of the Nguyen Van Cu – Ngoc Thuy road connection serves as a catalyst for the enhancement of surrounding projects, notably the Khai Son City project. The road now provides a convenient and fast connection between the project and the center of Hanoi, allowing residents easy access to public utilities, commercial services, and the city’s most vibrant and bustling entertainment areas.
Long Bien District, with over 20 years of development, has consistently been recognized by the city as a “bright spot” and a “pioneer” in various fields. Notably, the district has effectively implemented urban planning, basic construction, and urban development. The Nguyen Van Cu – Ngoc Thuy road project is expected to significantly contribute to the economic, cultural, and social development of the capital and its surrounding areas, promoting urbanization and attracting investment.
