Hanoi will build 16 bridges across the Red River, 4 bridges across the Da River

In the Master Plan of the Capital with a 100-year vision, the Hanoi People's Committee determined that to solve the traffic congestion problem, it is necessary to disperse traffic outside the inner city.

Along with that, connecting traffic between Hanoi and neighboring provinces by adding inter-regional road and railway traffic connection routes with provinces around Hanoi: Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh... Coordinating the implementation of key national projects such as the North-South high-speed railway and the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway (proposing Gia Lam station as a provincial-level station), Hanoi - Lang Son railway...

Research and supplement planning to orient the development of the urban railway system in the direction of strengthening links with urban areas, provinces, and cities around Hanoi in the direction of inter-regional transport links.

Research underground urban railway lines from Ring Road 3 to the inner city, TOD system - urban development model oriented towards public transport development at major traffic junctions, underground parking lots, commercial services; apply TOD model to optimize land use around stations.

Accelerate the progress of metro lines, including line No. 2 and line No. 5 (Van Cao - Hoa Lac)... TOD planning optimizes the efficiency of metro and underground space.

Accelerate the progress of road traffic projects: Ring Road 4, Gia Binh airport connecting road; bridges across rivers such as Thuong Cat bridge, Me So bridge, Ring Road 4, 5, Ring Road 5, Tran Hung Dao bridge, Ngoc Hoi bridge, new bridges connecting Ring Road 4, 5 across the Red River, connecting from Ba Vi across the Da River to expand urban development space.

The city will renovate and expand existing roads, radial traffic roads along 9 dynamic axes, which are backbone projects, creating strategic breakthroughs in connecting neighboring areas and reducing traffic congestion in the inner city, solving congestion and strengthening regional connectivity.

In addition to studying the planning to supplement and synchronize the main transportation system linked above, the city is studying to supplement and strengthen the inter-regional transportation system (chesboard network structure) linking new urban areas, old urban areas, combining renovation and reconstruction of dilapidated old streets and slums, to relieve local traffic congestion in the inner city.

Review planning to supplement capacity for Noi Bai International Airport. Research to put Gia Lam and Hoa Lac airports into dual-use operation (civilian and military), reserve land funds in the Southern region (Ung Hoa) to build the second airport in the Capital region.

The plan clearly states that in the period 2026 - 2035, the city will build 16 bridges across the Red River, 4 bridges across the Da River. Along with that, deploy the construction of 14 urban railway lines (about 1,000km); build Ring Road 4, 5, Ring Road 5; expand National Highway 1A, National Highway 21A, National Highway 32...
