Current status of Highway 70 before implementing the upgrade project of more than 3,370 billion VND

The project to upgrade and expand Highway 70 (from Trinh Van Bo to the old Nam Tu Liem area) is being implemented by Hanoi with the expectation of reducing traffic on neighboring roads.

The project is nearly 5 km long, with a total investment of more than VND 3,377 billion and was approved by the Hanoi People's Committee in Decision No. 1438/QD-UBND dated March 15, 2024. The route passes through Tay Mo and Xuan Phuong wards and Son Dong commune.

According to the design, the expanded route is about 4.95 km long, including the Trinh Van Bo - Nga bridge section, 3.25 km long, with a cross-section of 50 m; the section from Thang Long Avenue to Ngo Thi Nham Street, 1.7 km long, with a cross-section of 40 m. The total land area to be recovered is more than 229,000 m². In Tay Mo ward alone, the area to be recovered is more than 64,700 m², related to residential land of about 160 households, agricultural land of 70 households and about 250 graves to be moved.

Recently, the People's Council of Tay Mo Ward held a meeting with voters on the progress of the project. A representative of the Ward Investment and Infrastructure Management Board said that they are currently implementing three construction and installation bidding packages and one consulting package for surveying and designing technical infrastructure relocation construction drawings.

However, many temporary tents, vehicles, and illegal assets on the road section passing through Xuan Phuong ward have not been moved, hindering construction.
