In June 2023, the Hanoi People's Committee issued Decision No. 3292/QD-UBND approving the investment project to build a overpass at the intersection of Provincial Road 427 with the North-South railway and National Highway 1A (Duong Truc Nguyen overpass).
The project's objective is to implement the planning approved by all levels and sectors, create a level crossing with National Highway 1A and the North-South railway; complete the new route of road 427 according to the plan to help connect with the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway conveniently, ensuring traffic safety.
According to the plan, the project has a length of 590m (overpass length 284m, the rest is the length of the barrier wall and bridgehead road), bridge cross-section 16m, meeting 4 lanes. The scope of the bridgehead road is designed to be classified according to Provincial Road 427.
The project has a total investment of 283 billion VND, of which construction costs are more than 228 billion VND and other costs.
By May 2024, Thuong Tin District People's Committee (the investor) organized the groundbreaking ceremony for the Duong Truc Nguyen overpass project. After the operation of the 2-level government model, the project was transferred to Thuong Tin commune as the investor.
According to Lao Dong's records, after more than 1.5 years of construction, the Duong Truc Nguyen overpass project has revealed its shape.
The beam across National Highway 1A and the North-South railway corridor is an important item of the Duong Truc Nguyen overpass project that has been completed by the contractor.
Currently, the construction area does not affect people's traffic.
On the construction site, many workers are mobilized to construct the concrete construction item of the bridge deck. The access road item and some other items will also be deployed by the contractor in the near future.
Living in the central area of Thuong Tin district (old), now Thuong Tin commune for decades, Mr. Le Van Hai (56 years old) has often witnessed traffic jams as well as traffic accidents at the intersection of National Highway 1A - Duong Truc Nguyen road.
Therefore, when starting construction of the Duong Truc Nguyen overpass, he himself and many people in the commune were very excited.
I hope the project will be completed soon so that traffic is convenient, congestion is reduced, and the local appearance will also have a big change" - Mr. Hai said.
The Duong Truc Nguyen overpass project is expected to be completed in 2026. Putting the steel overpass into use will improve traffic capacity for Provincial Road 427, especially the Thuong Tin station intersection area. At the same time, increase the connectivity of Provincial Road 427 with Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway.
