Delaying the operation time of the Nhon - Hanoi station metro line

On March 13, the Hanoi People's Committee sent a document to the Prime Minister requesting to adjust the time to put into operation the elevated section of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station urban railway project into August this year, instead of the end of 2022 as planned.

Accordingly, to commercially exploit the elevated section of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station metro project, the city plans to complete the CP5 package at the Depot area in May 2023 and the work group for acceptance, handover and system safety certification in August 2023.

At the same time, relevant units also organized a trial operation phase for 57 operation and maintenance scenarios according to the train schedule of 3 shifts/day, 7 days/week, this period is expected to last for 8 weeks, starting from May 2023 to June 2023.

Previously, in August 2022, during a working session with Hanoi City and related units, the Prime Minister requested the completion of the elevated section of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station by the end of 2022 and to study and find solutions to shorten at least half the time to complete the underground section compared to the consultant's proposal of 2027.
