The People’s Council of Hanoi on November 13 approved the adjustment of the investment policy of the Tran Hung Dao Bridge project.
Under the adjusted plan, total investment capital for the project will increase to over VND16.2 trillion ($619 million) from the initial plan of VND15.96 trillion.
The bridge project spans 4.18 km with a width of 40 m. The bridge will begin at the intersection of Tran Hung Dao, Tran Thanh Tong and Le Thanh Tong streets in Cua Nam and Hai Ba Trung wards and end at Nguyen Son Street in Long Bien and Bo De wards.
The main span crossing the Red River will stretch 870 m with six spans and a total width of 43 m, featuring six lanes for motor vehicles, two bicycle lanes, and two pedestrian lanes. Approach roads on both sides will extend 1.4 km, ranging from 25.5 to 30 m in width.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, the bridge is expected to significantly reduce traffic pressure in the city center and improve access to the eastern areas of Hanoi.
