The investment project to build the route connecting Gia Binh airport with Hanoi capital (section through Hanoi) is implemented under the public-private partnership (PPP) method, Build-Transfer (BT) contract, with a total preliminary investment of nearly 33,000 billion VND. The expected construction period of the project and infrastructure system is 2025-2026. In Hanoi, the route is more than 10 km long, passing through the old Gia Lam district (now Phu Dong and Thuan An communes).

Detailed route

From the starting point, the line will cross the Duong River, following a new direction towards VSIP Industrial Park, running close to the border between Hanoi and Bac Ninh. The line will go south of the Trung Mau station planning area on the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong railway line.

After passing Trung Mau station, the route continues towards Ninh Hiep intersection with Hanoi - Lang Son highway (the existing intersection will be renovated). From here, the route coincides with the direction of Ring Road 3/Hanoi - Thai Nguyen highway, passes through Yen Vien station area, Yen Thuong station, crosses Ngu Huyen Khe river and ends at the intersection with the road connecting Tu Lien bridge.

Regarding the boundary, the starting point of the route is in Thuan An commune, Hanoi city, bordering Bac Ninh province. The end point connects the intersection with Hanoi - Thai Nguyen - Ring Road 3 expressway and Tu Lien bridge approach road project, in the border area between Phu Dong commune, Dong Anh commune and Thu Lam commune.

Scale and technical design

The route is designed according to expressway standards, with a maximum speed of 120 km/h and 10 lanes. The main route is about 13.55 km long. In addition, there is a route connecting to the Tu Lien bridge approach road, about 2.5 km long in Dong Anh commune, including a Y-shaped intersection.

Main segment

The section from the starting point to the intersection with the Hanoi – Ha Long Expressway and the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring Road 3 is about 7 km long. On this section, a bridge over the Duong River about 1.9 km long will be built for both road and rail.

The typical cross-section west of the Duong River Bridge is 120 m wide, including a 10-lane elevated expressway section (49.5 m wide viaduct) and parallel service roads on both sides, each side with 3 low lanes. The clearance of the elevated section is expected to be 7.5 m.

In terms of scale, the route is designed according to expressway standards, speed 120 km/h, 10 lanes. The main route is about 13.55 km long; the route connecting Tu Lien bridge approach road is about 2.5 km long in Dong Anh commune, including the Y-shaped intersection with Tu Lien bridge approach road.

Section coinciding with Ring Road 3

The section coinciding with the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen/Ring 3 Expressway is approximately 6.55 km long (of which 1.62 km is in Bac Ninh province). This section will be expanded on the basis of the existing route, reaching a scale of 120 m, including a 10-lane expressway and two parallel service roads.

The section coinciding with the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen/Ring 3 Expressway (Section 2) has its starting point connecting Section 1 and its end point at the intersection with the road connecting Tu Lien Bridge in the area between the approach road to Tu Lien Bridge, Ring 3 and the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway. The length of this section is about 6.55 km, of which 1.62 km is in Bac Ninh province. The scale is 120 m wide, including a 10-lane expressway section (49.5 m, expanded on the basis of the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen/Ring 3 Expressway) and two parallel service roads, each with 3 lanes.

Important intersections and connections

The project will have two main intersections and direct intersections. Ninh Hiep intersection will connect with Hanoi – Lang Son expressway and Giang Bien bridge connecting route. Y-shaped intersection will connect the route with Tu Lien bridge approach project to Hanoi – Thai Nguyen expressway.

The branch connecting from Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring 3 to Tu Lien Bridge approach road includes 2 separate branches: one branch from Gia Binh direction to Tu Lien Bridge and one branch from Tu Lien Bridge towards Gia Binh. Each branch has 3 lanes, 14 m wide and about 2.5 km long.

Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring Road 3 exists at Ninh Hiep intersection.
