After years of procedural delays and land disputes, the road connecting Lac Trung Street to Minh Khai area—dubbed the “graceful curved road” by locals—is now under accelerated construction.
The project linking the road through the Bus Company to Minh Khai 423 (from Lac Trung Street, via 25 Lac Trung Apartment to the end of 559 Kim Nguu Alley) has a total investment of over 83 billion VND. This route is expected to provide a crucial traffic solution for the Vinh Tuy area, which often faces congestion during peak hours.
The 400-meter road winds through the space between two apartment buildings at 25 Lac Trung, connecting to 559 Kim Nguu Alley and leading to Minh Khai Street, with a foundation width of 13.5 meters.
Due to limited land and the need to navigate pre-existing high-rise buildings, the road features several curves, creating a unique layout. Long-time residents describe it as unlike any other internal road in Hanoi, with its narrow, winding path squeezed between nearly adjacent structures.
For years, the project was stalled due to a 1,000 m² land dispute involving a local enterprise. In September, after the Hanoi People’s Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by 19 households, the project gained legal clearance to proceed. By early October, the remaining land was handed over to Vinh Tuy Ward authorities, allowing construction to resume.
Recent observations by VTC News reporters reveal that construction crews are deploying excavators, rollers, and specialized equipment to level the ground, install drainage systems, and prepare the road foundation.
A total of 435 meters of new piping will connect to the existing system on Lac Trung Street. Additionally, nearly 800 meters of drainage channels are being dug along both sides to ensure comprehensive water management before the road surface is finalized.
“In the past, we feared vehicles navigating sharp turns near residential areas. Now, with proper construction, drainage, and widened lanes, I’m hopeful it will be safer once completed,” shared Mr. Hoa, a resident near 559 Kim Nguu Alley.
“During rush hour, even a minor accident or wrongly parked car on Minh Khai disrupts our entire neighborhood. This new road will definitely ease congestion,” noted a Minh Khai Street resident.
Upon completion, the road will offer an essential travel route between Minh Khai and Lac Trung, providing nearby apartment residents with an alternative to the often-crowded Minh Khai axis.
The project linking the road through the Bus Company to Minh Khai 423 in Vinh Tuy Ward (from Lac Trung Street via 25 Lac Trung Apartment to the end of 559 Kim Nguu Alley) is scheduled for completion before the 2026 Lunar New Year.
