Firstly, the total length of the Project route remains the same, but there are changes in the length of the elevated section (increased from 8.5 km to 8.9 km) and the underground section (reduced from 3 km to 2.6 km); the number of trains is reduced from 14 to 10.
Second, the total preliminary investment of the Project is proposed to be adjusted to 35,588 billion VND (equivalent to 200,744 million yen), an increase of 16,033 billion VND compared to 2008. Of which, ODA capital borrowed from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) under the special loan conditions for economic partners (STEP) is 167,079 million Yen, equivalent to 29,672 billion VND, equivalent to 1,254.78 million USD (an increase of 13,187 billion VND); counterpart capital of Hanoi city budget: 5,916 billion VND, equivalent to 33,665 million Yen, equivalent to 250.19 million USD (an increase of 2,846 billion VND).
She said the project has a new implementation period from 2009 to 2031, instead of being completed in 2015 as originally planned. Of which, completion and putting into operation in 2029 and 2 years of training in operation and maintenance.
According to the Hanoi Urban Railway Project Management Board, after the investment policy adjustment is approved, the Project will re-mobilize general consultants to implement the project adjustment for the City People's Committee to approve and implement the Project from 2025.
Line 2 forms an important backbone, connecting the inner city area, Noi Bai International Airport and the northern urban area of Hanoi. The line includes: Urban railway line 2, Nam Thang Long - Tran Hung Dao section (Line 2.1), Urban railway line 2, Tran Hung Dao - Thuong Dinh section (Line 2.2), Urban railway line 2, Noi Bai - Nam Thang Long section (Line 2.3).
Not only bringing benefits to transportation and the environment, this urban railway also plays an important role in developing tourism and urban architecture in the capital.
The planning of Line 2, combining radial and belt routes, not only increases connectivity but also helps disperse passengers away from the central area, shortens travel time and optimizes the efficiency of the entire system.
This is an important step to build a modern, synchronous and sustainable transport network for the capital, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development and improving the quality of life of the people.
