Faced with a series of information on social networks and some other information channels about Hanoi starting construction of Tu Lien Bridge at the end of 2024, Mr. Phan Truong Thanh - Head of Planning and Finance Department (Hanoi Department of Transport) denied this information and affirmed: This is incorrect information!
More information about this project, according to Mr. Phan Truong Thanh, Tu Lien bridge is an important traffic project within Program 03 - CTr/TU of the Hanoi Party Committee on urban embellishment, urban development and urban economy of Hanoi in the period 2021 - 2025. Recently, the Department of Transport has coordinated with the Pacific Group to study the investment project to build Tu Lien bridge under the form of PPP (public-private partnership).
The technical plan clearly shows that Tu Lien bridge connects Dong Anh district and Tay Ho district, with a total length of 11.5km. The main bridge and the approach roads at both ends of the bridge are about 5.5km long; the connecting road to the bridge in Dong Anh district is about 6km long, with a total investment of 22,000 billion VND.
It is expected that the Department of Transport and the Hanoi Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board will implement the main bridge and the approach roads at both ends of the bridge. Dong Anh District will be the investor of the section from National Highway 5 to the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway.
As of September 2024, the Hanoi People's Committee has just announced to hand over the project to the Department of Planning and Investment to research and advise the city to convert this project to public investment; but has not yet officially assigned the task.
Regarding the project progress, Mr. Phan Truong Thanh once again affirmed that Hanoi is focusing all its efforts on the Ring Road 4 - Capital Region project, so the capital source for the Tu Lien Bridge investment has not been determined at this time. The Tu Lien Bridge project may be even slower due to many issues that need to be studied and prepared.
In addition, through technical surveys, the construction work is also related to ensuring the safety of the Red River dike; large volume of site clearance, especially the bridgehead area in Tay Ho district. Specific technical plans and basic designs are needed... These are difficult issues for Hanoi's professional agencies.
Regarding the feasibility of the Tu Lien bridge project, Mr. Phan Truong Thanh informed that Hanoi is simultaneously implementing many large projects such as the Me So, Hong Ha (on Ring Road 4), Van Phuc, Ngoc Hoi, Thuong Cat bridges, etc. Projects that complete investment preparation first will be implemented first to effectively utilize capital resources.
Especially after Typhoon Yagi, Hanoi is having to focus on handling a series of weak and temporary bridges. Therefore, other projects such as Tu Lien and Tran Hung Dao bridges... have not yet completed their investment preparation stages, and the urgent construction of new bridges must have a carefully calculated roadmap because the project is using budget capital.
