Regarding the Ring Road 2.5 project, Dam Hong - National Highway 1 section, representatives of the Project Management Board said that the basic items have been completed. Currently, contractors are focusing on constructing the roadbed and completing the surface of bridge L3 over the Lu River.
The underpass item at the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection (an independent component project of Ring Road 2.5) is expected to be opened to traffic before February 10.
Meanwhile, the project to renovate and expand National Highway 1, Van Dien - Ngoc Hoi section, with a length of about 3.8 km, has been technically opened to traffic and is ready to be handed over to the Department of Construction to organize traffic, serving the travel needs of people.
For the Southern Hanoi road project, this Lunar New Year, traffic will continue to be opened to about 7 km at the end of the route, thereby completing the entire 41 km long route, with a scale of 6 lanes. The route connects from Highway 70 (old Ha Dong district) to Ninh Binh province (old Ha Nam province), contributing to reducing the load on the southern gateway traffic axes of the Capital.
