In October 2023, Hanoi started the investment project to build the Thang Long Avenue expressway, the section connecting National Highway 21 to Hanoi - Hoa Binh expressway.
The project is 6.7km long, 120-180m cross-section with a total investment of VND 5,249 billion, invested by the Hanoi Civil Construction Investment Project Management Board.
According to the assessment of the Hanoi People's Committee, the implementation of the project investment will gradually complete the entire Hanoi - Hoa Binh highway; develop and expand the capital Hanoi to the West, meeting the rapidly increasing transportation demand; and be the driving force for the development of Hoa Lac satellite urban area and the western satellite urban chain.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
According to the Hanoi City Civil Construction Investment Project Management Board, the Thang Long Avenue to Hanoi - Hoa Binh Expressway is being implemented with a total area of land acquisition and clearance of about 105.8 hectares.
Up to now, the investor has received the handover of 7.6 hectares of land in Tien Xuan commune (Thach That district) and is implementing the construction of bored piles (45/68 piles), casting concrete components (13/128 beams) to serve the construction of the overpass of the planned road Km2+522.5 (belonging to package No. 31).
Currently, the investor and contractor are waiting for the site to continue construction.
According to the Hanoi Statistics Office, by the end of August 2024, the Thang Long Avenue expressway project, the section connecting National Highway 21 to Hanoi - Hoa Binh expressway, had disbursed 8.1% of the capital plan.
Regarding the progress of key traffic projects , including the investment project to build the road connecting Thang Long Avenue with Hanoi - Hoa Binh Expressway, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh recently directed localities to be more drastic in implementing land acquisition, site clearance, preventing re-encroachment of clean land, and at the same time, not allowing "hot spots" of social order to arise in project areas.
In addition, the leaders of the Hanoi People's Committee also requested that resettlement work must ensure that people have "accommodation, income and living conditions equal to or better than their old place of residence"; apply harmoniously, appropriately and in accordance with legal regulations, and not let some small problems or obstacles slow down the progress of the city's key projects and works.
