As part of the Transport Planning for the Hanoi Capital until 2030, with a vision towards 2050, the project to construct an interchange between Ring Road 3.5 and Thang Long Boulevard (in Hoai Duc district) has a total investment of over VND 2,384 billion. The Hanoi Municipal Civil Works Construction Project Management Board is the investor.
For over a month now, workers and machinery have begun construction on the interchange project between Ring Road 3.5 and Thang Long Boulevard.
However, there are currently many safety issues at this billion-dollar interchange construction site.
Specifically, the barrier system around the construction area is rudimentary and lacks uniformity, failing to meet safety regulations. Many construction sites along the Thang Long Boulevard collector road lack barriers or warning signs for vehicles.
Notably, the contractor has not provided adequate night lighting at the barrier locations or deployed traffic guides on-site, posing potential safety risks to pedestrians and vehicles.
On June 30, temporary warning signs were observed on the construction site along the Thang Long Boulevard collector road.
Moreover, along the Thang Long Boulevard collector road (turning right onto An Khanh Street, at Km 9+500), there is a no-parking sign, but cars, trucks, and containers frequently violate this regulation.
Vehicles parked along the road leading to Thien Phuc intersection significantly impact the traffic flow in the area.
Traffic congestion frequently occurs during peak hours due to the absence of traffic guides at the intersection.
Facing this situation, the Hanoi Department of Construction Inspection has directed the Hoai Duc District Construction Inspection Team to work directly with the contractor and request the construction unit promptly address the issues and strictly comply with the construction permit.
The contractor is also required to commit to not storing materials or vehicles outside the construction site and to ensure comprehensive traffic safety, occupational safety, and environmental sanitation measures. Any incidents will be the full responsibility of the investor and the contractor before the law.
Additionally, the Inspection Department has requested the Hanoi Municipal Civil Works Construction Project Management Board – the project investor – to enhance inspections and urge the contractor, while also coordinating with authorities such as traffic police and local police to thoroughly handle violations and ensure absolute traffic safety in the area.

The Smooth Flow: Revamping Hanoi’s Pham Van Dong Street for Vehicular Ease
The recent installation of new traffic signs along Pham Van Dong road marks a significant step towards easing traffic congestion. Previously, despite having six lanes, vehicles were restricted to just two lanes, resulting in a tedious and frustrating commute for drivers. However, the Hanoi Department of Construction has addressed this issue by implementing a new system where all lanes are now accessible to cars, while motorbikes are directed to use the four innermost lanes. This strategic reorganization aims to improve traffic flow and enhance the overall driving experience for all road users.
