Today (September 11), within the framework of a press conference with the theme "France's experience in supporting sustainable transport in Vietnam", the French Embassy provided information related to urban railway line No. 3, Hanoi City.
According to the French Embassy, the elevated section of Hanoi Railway Line No. 3 (including 8 stations) was put into commercial operation on August 8, 2024.
The elevated section connecting Nhon to Cau Giay with a length of 8 km by means of transport ensures the environment and reduces congestion for the capital Hanoi. The underground section (next 4 stations to Hanoi station) will be operated by the end of 2027.
It is known that the Hanoi City Pilot Urban Railway Investment Project, Nhon - Hanoi Station section, designated as Line 3.1, is funded by ODA loans from 4 sponsors (French Government; French Development Agency; European Investment Bank and Asian Development Bank) and counterpart funds from Hanoi City Budget.
The project runs on dedicated tracks with a total main line length of 12.5 km, of which the elevated section is 8.5 km long and the underground section is about 4 km with a double-gauge railway of 1,435 m. The station system of the project includes 8 elevated stations (S1 to S8 stations) and 4 underground stations (S9 to S12 stations).
The means of transport include locomotives and rolling stock of the “medium” size; type B (according to European standards) with a width of 2.75-3 m; the length of the train is about 80 m (for a 4-car train), about 100 m (for a 5-car train). The number of cars of the train according to the investment phase is from 4 to 5 cars/train.
Mr. Oliver Brochet, French Ambassador to Vietnam, said that the inauguration of the elevated section of the Nhon – Hanoi Railway Station urban railway line has demonstrated the capacity of the entire French – Vietnamese team in successfully implementing ambitious infrastructure projects in the field of rail transport. This also demonstrates France’s commitment to accompanying Vietnam in the transition towards a carbon-free economy, especially through the provision of technical solutions that meet the highest international standards.
The French Embassy representative said that urban railway line No. 3 will be extended, continuing to go underground under Tran Hung Dao street and down to the South of Hanoi to Hoang Mai with about 8 km underground.
This extension will be financially supported by European donors such as the French Development Agency, the European Investment Bank, and the Asian Development Bank.
According to the Hanoi Urban Railway Development Project, which is being consulted by ministries, sectors and relevant agencies, urban railway line No. 3: Troi - Nhon - Yen So has a length of 57.3 km.
