(Dan Tri) - Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc requested relevant agencies, units and localities to focus wholeheartedly on removing difficulties and obstacles to implement the Ring Road 2.5 project as planned.

On the afternoon of December 9, Mr. Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, chaired a meeting with relevant agencies and units to remove difficulties and obstacles in implementing the Ring Road 2.5 project.

Ring Road 2.5 has a total length of more than 19.4km, cross-section of 40-50m, starting point intersecting with Thanh Tri bridgehead road, ending point at Phu Thuong ward.

The project started many years ago and has been going on for many years but is still not completed.

Through the review of the entire Ring Road 2.5 in Hanoi, it is divided into 13 sections. The project has been invested according to the planning of 7.6km, is implementing investment of 9.36km, and 2.45km has not been studied for investment.

Currently, one of the biggest difficulties is site clearance related to 5 sections under construction and 3 sections not yet under construction.

Ring Road 2.5 plays a vital role in Hanoi's traffic system, contributing to connecting inner-city districts from Phu Thuong to Linh Nam, forming a closed loop to distribute traffic volume, reducing pressure on main routes such as Ring Road 2 and Ring Road 3.

This route not only promotes socio-economic development, but is also a key solution to solve the city's traffic congestion problem.

Completion of the remaining sections will be synchronized with other infrastructure projects, helping to reduce travel times, limit rush hour congestion and improve urban air quality.

In the context of Hanoi's rapid urbanization, Belt Road 2.5 is a key factor in achieving the goal of infrastructure breakthrough and reducing traffic congestion, one of the five bottlenecks that the city is focusing on overcoming.

At the conference, Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc chaired the discussion between relevant agencies, units and localities to separate and clarify each difficulty and problem that is affecting the situation and progress of project implementation, especially related to site clearance and investment preparation for new sections...

Mr. Nguyen Duy Ngoc requested relevant agencies, units and localities to clearly define political responsibilities to focus wholeheartedly on removing difficulties and obstacles, and implementing the project according to plan.

The City Party Secretary especially reminded agencies, units and localities to be very careful in every task, especially in site clearance; focus on basic investigation, grasp the situation, and mobilize people right now.

Besides, he also requested the city's agencies and units to make full use of mechanisms and policies to remove obstacles, ensure the legitimate rights of the people; and be determined to speed up the project's progress to achieve the set goals.

He emphasized that this is a key project of the city, not only meaningful for the future development of Hanoi, but also meets the practical needs of people's lives, avoiding waste.

It is necessary to mobilize the entire political system to participate, increase propaganda and campaign so that people can share, support and accompany the city to bring the project to the finish line soon, Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc requested.
