Construction began on March 20 for several sections of Hanoi’s Ring Road 2.5, marking a key step in easing chronic traffic congestion in the capital.
The sections cover Dich Vong New Urban Area–Duong Dinh Nghe, Vu Pham Ham–Tran Duy Hung, and Nguy Nhu Kon Tum–Nguyen Trai.
City officials said the road will help complete the inner ring network, improve links with radial routes, and reduce pressure on Ring Roads 2 and 3.
Local authorities have pledged to accelerate land clearance, resolve obstacles, and ensure the rights of affected residents to facilitate construction. Contractors have committed to mobilizing maximum resources to meet deadlines, ensure quality and safety, and minimize disruption to daily life, with completion targeted for October 10, 2026.
The project has a total investment of more than VND8.4 trillion (around $330 million), covering compensation, resettlement, and main road construction. Spanning about 2.26 km, the road will feature a cross-section of 40–50m.
Once completed, Ring Road 2.5 is expected to ease congestion, enhance connectivity, and support Hanoi’s socio-economic development.
