Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked Hanoi authorities to prepare to start construction of the Red River Landscape Boulevard and an Olympic sports urban area projects on December 19 as scheduled, while chairing a meeting held on November 15 to review the projects.
These are two key projects aimed at transforming the capital’s urban landscape. The Red River Landscape Boulevard, designated as one of five strategic axes in the Capital Region Master Plan, is planned to span roughly 11,000ha and stretch more than 40km along the Red River through 16 communes and wards inside Belt Road No. 4.
Total investment capital is estimated at over VND400 trillion ($15.38 billion).
The planned boulevard will help ease traffic congestion, curb pollution, improve flood control, improve urban aesthetics, and ensure seamless connectivity across all Red River bridges upon completion.
Hanoi targets to commence construction of the project on December 19 with completion slated for 2030.
Regarding the Olympic sports urban area, Hanoi approved planning tasks for subzones C and D, covering a combined 8,200ha. Both will include sports facilities, housing, mixed-use developments, public services, schools, green spaces, technical infrastructure; and land for heritage and religious sites, defence-security, and agricultural production.
