Waiting wearily for the 14-year-old 'suspended' road expansion project in Hanoi

TPO - The project to expand Nguyen Hoang Ton Street (from Tay Ho District Party Committee to Pham Van Dong Street) passing through Tay Ho District and Bac Tu Liem District was approved on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi. However, nearly 15 years have passed, the project has yet to be implemented.

The project to expand Nguyen Hoang Ton Street (from Tay Ho District Party Committee to Pham Van Dong Street) passing through Tay Ho District and Bac Tu Liem District was approved on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi, but until now it has remained "still" with no sign of implementation.

According to the plan, the road after being expanded will have a cross-section of up to 40m with 4 lanes for motor vehicles. At the same time, the road will be built with the following items: drainage system, sidewalk paving, lighting system, and trees.

According to the reporter's records, up to now, the road expansion project has not been implemented, along the street there are still "dirty" factories, makeshift houses, and many "potholes" appear on the road, causing danger to traffic participants.

Nguyen Hoang Ton Street is an important traffic route with a large volume of traffic, connecting with Pham Van Dong Street and Vo Chi Cong Street, intersecting with Ring Road 2.5. However, the project is still "lying still", with no signs of implementation.

Currently the road is only two lanes wide, traffic is heavy, and there are frequent congestions during rush hour.

When this route is constructed, hundreds of households will have to be relocated and resettled.

Factories, makeshift houses... appear along both sides of the road.

"I have been living in this area for more than ten years now, and have heard about the road expansion project for a long time. This road has many potholes, is congested every day, and is flooded and dirty when it rains. Around here, people build factories and level 4 boarding houses for rent, but there are few tall houses. I hope the project will be implemented soon so that people can renovate and repair their houses and stabilize their lives," said Mr. Quoc Dai (Bac Tu Liem).

The route regularly carries heavy trucks.

The road surface is degraded, with many potholes, posing a danger to road users.

Many sections of the road have almost no sidewalks, pedestrians can only walk on the road.

Garbage piled up on Nguyen Hoang Ton street is unsightly.

The end of Nguyen Hoan Ton Street, intersection with Pham Van Dong Street, right near the foot of Thang Long Bridge, is in a "bottleneck" state.
