The elevated Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station Metro line attracts passengers.

Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan acknowledged that the commercial operation of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station elevated section, 8.5km long, serving thousands of passengers every day, is an important milestone for the capital's public transport system. However, some projects are still behind schedule.

Directing the tasks for 2025, Mr. Duong Duc Tuan requested MRB to focus on accelerating the progress of key projects, completing the underground construction of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station urban railway line and soon restarting the Nam Thang Long - Tran Hung Dao Line 2 project. This is a key task, requiring high concentration and timely removal of difficulties and obstacles.

At the same time, MRB improves its management, operation and technology application capacity in project supervision, ensuring progress, quality and safety in construction. Closely coordinate with departments, branches and localities to remove bottlenecks, speed up site clearance, and create favorable conditions for contractors to carry out construction.
