Up-Close Look: Hanoi’s Ring Road 4 Parallel Roads at Risk of Missing Deadlines

Scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, significant portions of the parallel roads accompanying the Ring Road 4 project in Hanoi remain stalled due to unresolved land clearance issues or are only in the initial stages of foundation excavation and backfilling. The project investor has warned of a high risk that the deadline may not be met.

The 53-kilometer Ring Road 4 parallel route passing through Hanoi is slated for completion by 2025, according to the project’s investment decision.

However, as of mid-November 2025, the project has only completed approximately 73% of its construction volume, as reported by Tien Phong journalists.

Several sections, including the stretch from Dong Anh to Hoai Duc and from National Highway 32 to Thang Long Avenue, have been asphalted and are on track for completion by December 31, 2025.

From Thang Long Avenue to the Me So Bridge project (the endpoint), construction is patchy, with some sections still in land clearance.

The section from Thang Long Avenue to National Highway 6, including the intersection with Ring Road 4, remains chaotic, with many parts still in earthwork and lacking asphalt.

From National Highway 6 to National Highway 1, construction is inconsistent, with some parts asphalted, others in earthwork, and some still farmland.

Near the intersection with National Highway 21 (leading to Huong Pagoda), high-voltage power lines remain unmoved, and the area is still farmland.

The sections intersecting with National Highway 6 and 21 are active construction sites, dusty, and causing traffic difficulties.

A representative from the Hanoi People’s Committee (the project investor for the Ring Road 4 parallel route in the Capital Region) stated that, as of late November 2025, Component Project 2.1 (the Hanoi section) has completed asphalt paving on approximately 30 kilometers out of the total 53 kilometers. Overall construction progress stands at around 73.5%.

Regarding land clearance, the representative noted that 98.8% of the land has been cleared for construction. However, about 9.5 hectares (1.2%) across 18 points remain uncleared, with intermittent construction spanning 3.9 kilometers. The uncleared land is spread across 10 wards and communes.

Given these circumstances, the project management unit, the Hanoi Transportation Infrastructure Investment and Construction Project Management Board, aims to complete the road surface in areas with cleared land and stable foundations by 2025. Sections with land clearance issues are expected to be finished by Q1/2026.
