The Hanoi People’s Committee announced on May 19 that the city is currently implementing large-scale site clearance for 1,428 projects across various wards.
The initiative aims to remove infrastructure bottlenecks and drive the capital's socio-economic development.
According to the municipal authorities, the projects include 1,281 budget-funded works and 147 projects funded by non-budgetary sources. Among these, 27 are categorized as "key national and municipal projects" of vital importance to the city’s expansion.
The city has seen significant progress in resolving long-standing clearance issues since late 2025. Major milestones include the completion of site clearance for four bridges across the Red River (Hong Ha, Me So, Van Phuc, and Ngoc Hoi), as well as critical sections of Ring Road 1 (Hoang Cau - Voi Phuc), Ring Road 4, and the Tam Trinh road.
Looking ahead, Hanoi is focusing its resources on three additional Red River bridges—Tu Lien, Tran Hung Dao, and Thuong Cat. Authorities have set a deadline of June 30, 2026, to finalize clearance for Ring Road 2.5, while simultaneously pushing progress on Ring Roads 3 and 3.5.
In addition to transport infrastructure, the city is clearing land for nine mega-development projects. These include the Hanoi International Sports Urban Area, the Red River Landscape Axis, and a high-tech healthcare and education complex in Hoang Mai. Several projects will be developed under Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), such as the renovation of the West Lake area and the modernization of National Highway 1A.
