Authorities in Hanoi on May 19 broke ground on a major urban infrastructure and redevelopment project along National Highway 1A, aimed at expanding urban space and reshaping the southern gateway of the capital.
The project will develop a new urban corridor stretching from Ring Road 1 to the Cau Gie interchange of the National Highway 1A, with total investment estimated at nearly VND162 trillion (approximately $6.3 billion).
Spanning about 36.3 kilometers, the route will pass through 18 wards and communes in Hanoi. The starting point connects to the Kim Lien tunnel area, while the endpoint links to the Cau Gie interchange in Chuyen My Commune.
The roadway will feature a cross-section of up to 90 meters, including 10 main traffic lanes and six parallel service lanes, with a designed speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Construction and related infrastructure are expected to be completed by 2027, contributing to the city’s long-term transport development strategy under Hanoi’s 100-year master plan.
Beyond easing traffic congestion at the southern entrance to the capital, the project is also envisioned as a new urban development axis integrating transport infrastructure with urban renovation and redevelopment along the National Highway 1A corridor.
