The Hanoi government is planning to build four more bridges over the Red and Duong Rivers, with an estimated total cost of VND38 trillion (US$1.67 billion), in a move to reduce traffic congestion during rush hours.

Vinh Tuy Bridge

The largest of the four projects is the construction of the 3-kilometre long Tu Lien Bridge and a 9-kilometre road connecting the bridge with the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway, costing approximately VND17 trillion (US$748 million).

The Tu Lien Bridge, located between the bridges of Nhat Tan and Long Bien, is scheduled for completion in 2021.

According to the Hanoi People’s Committee, the Tu Lien Bridge will be built through a public-private partnership, in which the investor is entitled to use a 96-hectare plot of land in Yen Thuong commune of Gia Lam district.

Once completed, the Tu Lien Bridge and its northern approach road will improve the road network between the West Lake area and the Hanoi-Thai Nguyen Expressway and help to boost economic development in Hanoi’s northern district of Dong Anh.

The second project is the construction of a 500-metre bridge over the Duong River to replace the current Duong Bridge and a 4.2 kilometre long road linking Bac Ninh province, costing a total of VND6 trillion (US$264 million) and is also expected to be completed in 2021.

The Duong Bridge has been seriously degraded over recent years and will be reserved for rail transport only once the new bridge opens to traffic.

Hanoi also plans to build the 3-kilometre long Tran Hung Dao Bridge over the Red River at a cost of VND7 trillion (US$308 million) with the scheduled completion date in 2019.

The bridge is expected to reduce traffic pressure on the Long Bien and Chuong Duong Bridges which are frequently clogged with traffic during rush hours.

The fourth bridge to be built will be the Giang Bien Bridge over the Duong River and a 5.4 kilometre long connecting road that runs through Long Bien and Gia Lam district.

The Giang Bien Bridge, scheduled for completion in 2021, will cost an estimated VND8 trillion (US$352 million) and is expected to help form new urban areas further away from Hanoi’s core districts.
