Speaking with Lao Dong on May 26, a representative of Hoang Mai - Hanoi Construction Investment Company Limited (project enterprise) said that they have basically completed the procedures to restart the Ring Road 2.5 project, Dam Hong - National Highway 1A section (Hoang Mai district, Hanoi).
The restart ceremony will be held tomorrow (May 27), at the Ring Road 2.5 project management office (Dinh Cong ward, Hoang Mai).
After the restart ceremony, investors and project enterprises will mobilize machinery and personnel to complete the project after many years of delay.
The project to build the Ring Road 2.5, Dam Hong - National Highway 1A section, is invested in the form of a BT (build - transfer) contract with a length of 1.6km, with a total investment of more than 1,300 billion VND.
The project plays an important role in transport infrastructure such as reducing congestion, connecting urban areas, enhancing traffic capacity between inner-city districts, especially the Hoang Mai and Thanh Xuan areas.
The project started in 2014 and was expected to be completed in 2017 but was behind schedule.
In 2020, the project was temporarily suspended when it had only reached about 40% of the workload. The reason is due to problems in site clearance and extension of BT contract appendices.
According to the investor's report, up to now, package No. 1 (section 1, Km0+00 to Km1+381.7) has been organized with a volume of about 1,270m/1,381.7m. Since 2020, this package has been suspended due to the extension of the BT contract.
For package No. 2 (construction of L3 bridge across Lu river, route Km1+394) has organized the construction of 20 bored piles, the entire bridge piers and cast the entire girders. The bridge abutment and remaining items of the bridge cannot be constructed due to lack of land and the BT contract has not been extended.
As for package No. 3 (section 3, Km1+405.85 - Km1+600), although the site has been handed over, construction cannot be carried out because the site is still encroached by some households, the adjusted construction drawing design has not been approved, the BT contract has not been extended.
By the first quarter of 2025, the Hanoi People's Committee had chaired a meeting with relevant departments and branches to resolve the project's problems.
On 9.5.2025, under the authorization of the Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee, Director of the Management Board of the Investment Project Construction of the Hanoi Transport Project signed the Appendix of BT Contract No. 02/2025/PLHD Investment Project on construction of Ring Road 2.5 (section from pink lagoon to National Highway 1A), Hoang Mai District, Hanoi; Contract extension time of the first quarter/2026.
According to the plan, the project will be completed in 2025, in line with the progress of the Kim Dong - Giai Phong underpass project.
