Provincial Road 70 (Ha Dong - Van Dien section) plays an important role in the economy and society of Hanoi in general and the southern area of the city in particular.
However, in recent years, the rapid urban development has caused frequent traffic jams on Provincial Road 70, Ha Dong - Van Dien section, which cannot meet the travel needs of the people.
Some points of serious traffic congestion during rush hours are in front of the K Hospital gate (Tan Trieu branch 3), the intersection between Road 70 and Chu Van An Street, the intersection with National Highway 1A. Recently, there has been an additional section across To Bridge (Kim Giang - Phan Trong Tue intersection).
To solve the above situation, from now until 2026, Hanoi will implement the project to renovate and upgrade Provincial Road 70, Ha Dong - Van Dien section, 7.08 km long, with a total estimated investment of more than 5,484 billion VND, from the city budget.
The project is implemented through the wards of Van Quan, Phuc La, Kien Hung (Ha Dong district) and the communes of Tan Trieu, Ta Thanh Oai, Thanh Liet, Vinh Quynh, Van Dien town, Tu Hiep commune (Thanh Tri district).
The starting point connects with Nguyen Khuyen Street in Van Quan urban area (Ha Dong district), the end point is at Tu Hiep intersection (connecting with the route connecting Phap Van - Cau Gie with Ring Road 3, Thanh Tri district).
On the project route, there are 2 different level intersections including the intersection with the 53.4 m wide planned road (connecting Ring Road 3 - Ring Road 4) and the intersection with the old National Road 1A in Thanh Tri district.
In addition to the synchronous construction of construction items, the project has invested in 3 more bridges on the route, including building a new bridge over To Lich River and National Highway 1A, building a new bridge over Hoa Binh River, and expanding To Bridge over To Lich River.
According to preliminary statistics, 355,828 m2 of land will be recovered to implement the project, of which agricultural land is about 205,352 m2; residential land is about 47,537 m2 with about 788 households affected; land for headquarters of agencies, units, traffic roads and airspace is about 102,939 m2.
According to the survey data of Hanoi Green Parks Company Limited, there are currently a total of 263 shade trees on both sides of the road that need to be cut down, uprooted and relocated. Of these, there are 16 mahogany trees and 247 eucalyptus trees with trunk diameters ranging from 15-40 cm.
When constructing the road, the investor will arrange shade trees on both sides of the sidewalk, with a distance of 6-8 m/tree along the route. No trees will be arranged at intersections to avoid obstructing the view.
After being expanded, the road will have a cross-section of 50 m (the old road was only 8-10 m wide), helping to reduce traffic pressure on the southern gateway routes of the city, synchronizing traffic infrastructure, contributing to the socio-economic development of the capital.
