Improve traffic conditions connecting across the Red River

Reporting at the groundbreaking ceremony, Director of the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board Ngo Ngoc Van said that the investment in the construction of Ngoc Hoi Bridge plays an important role in completing the Ring Road 3.5 directly connecting with Hung Yen province, combined with the radial road system of Hanoi city (Me Linh urban axis, Tay Thang Long axis, National Highway 32, Thang Long Avenue, Le Van Luong, National Highway 6, National Highway 1A, Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway).

At the same time, it will share and distribute traffic, avoiding the situation where vehicles needing to move from the North, Northwest of the City to the Southeast of the City have to move through the City center, thereby reducing the risk of traffic congestion on existing routes such as: Ring Road 3, Giai Phong Road (QL1A), Road 70...

In particular, improving traffic conditions connecting across the Red River, promoting the urbanization process of the area as a premise for implementing the policy of population dispersion, reducing traffic pressure in the central area of Hanoi and reducing the load on Chuong Duong, Long Bien, Nhat Tan, Thang Long and Vinh Tuy bridges.
