Revitalizing Hanoi’s Central ‘Struggle Route’: A Road to Renewal

The extended Nguyễn Cảnh Dị route in Định Công Ward has recently been closed by the Hanoi Department of Construction for much-needed repairs. Despite its short length of just 0.6 km, the road has become a nightmare for commuters due to its severe deterioration and numerous potholes.

Nguyen Canh Di Extension is a heavily trafficked road stretching from Lu River Bridge to Dinh Cong Bridge, serving as a vital artery for daily commuters.

However, over the past decade, the road has severely deteriorated, plagued by potholes and persistent waterlogging, even on dry days.

The poor condition of Nguyen Canh Di (south of Lu River) has shifted traffic to Trinh Dinh Cuu Street on the opposite bank, causing frequent congestion. Photo taken on November 29, 2025.

Nguyen Canh Di’s surface is critically damaged, posing significant risks to motorists and pedestrians alike.

To alleviate traffic pressure and ensure safety, Hanoi’s People’s Committee has directed urgent repairs. The Department of Construction has implemented traffic diversions and installed signage to facilitate construction.

On November 29, machinery was deployed to Nguyen Canh Di, prioritizing road surface repairs as the initial phase of restoration.

According to Hanoi’s Department of Construction, from November 2025 to April 30, 2026, traffic will be rerouted via designated signage. Repairs will focus on resurfacing and upgrading traffic infrastructure along Nguyen Canh Di.
