Traffic barriers and lane diversions begin for construction of two underground stations on Metro Line 5.
Before the official barriers are installed, a trial barrier setup and test operations will be conducted over three days to observe and adjust the traffic plan to suit actual conditions.
In the area of station S1 (Van Cao Street), the barrier installation and traffic organization plan will be divided into two phases.
Phase 1: Install fixed barriers on the central median and the entire carriageway of Van Cao Street on the side of Quan Ngu Stadium (length 476m, width from 20m to 40m); Organize fixed barriers on the central median of Van Cao Street for approximately 3 lanes adjacent to the existing median, in the direction of West Lake (length 476m, width from 12m to 16m).
Phase 2: Install barriers to serve the construction of auxiliary structures in the area opposite Quan Ngu Street (length 85m, width about 16m) and the area near the ramp to the Hoang Hoa Tham overpass in the direction of West Lake (length 45m, width from 38m); simultaneously, the sidewalk on Van Cao Street will be cut to create a temporary road. The remaining traffic lane width will be about 2m (on the stadium side) and 7.5m (on the West Lake direction side).
Barrier plan for the construction of station S3 (Ring Road 1 Station).
In the area of station S3 (the Nguyen Chi Thanh – La Thanh intersection), barrier installation will be organized in multiple phases to construct the diaphragm walls, main structure, and auxiliary structures.
The project will closely coordinate its schedule with the Ring Road 1 project in this area.
The plan here is to cut the sidewalk on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street (approximately 276m long) to create a temporary road, ensuring a remaining road width of 6.5m to 7.5m on each side for vehicle traffic.
Comprehensive measures will be implemented to ensure traffic safety and environmental hygiene.
According to this plan, 2.5m high reflective metal sheet barriers will be installed, along with a system of remote guidance signs, lighting, and warning lights for nighttime.
At corners, B40 mesh will be used to ensure visibility for traffic participants.
Construction sites will be equipped with misting systems for dust suppression, vehicle washing facilities on-site, and timely removal of construction waste to ensure environmental hygiene; traffic guidance personnel will be arranged for 24/7 duty in coordination with Traffic Police to promptly handle incidents and avoid congestion.
Urban railway line No. 3 Nhon-Hanoi Station has put the elevated Nhon-Cau Giay section into operation, contributing to improved traffic on the route from the western gateway into the capital center.
Line No. 5 has the following route: starting from the area where Van Cao Street intersects with Hoang Hoa Tham Street, running underground along Van Cao-Lieu Giai-Nguyen Chi Thanh-Tran Duy Hung streets. After passing the National Convention Center, the line runs at grade on the central median of Thang Long Avenue and the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh Expressway to the end of the line. The project concludes at station S20 (in Hoa Lac commune area), with provisions reserved to potentially extend the line in the future to the area of the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and the Hanoi-Phu Tho inter-regional railway, should the need arise.
Urban railway line No. 5 has a total length of 39.585km, of which 6.56km is underground, 5.21km is elevated, and 27.815km is at grade. The maximum design speed is 120km/h (the tunnel section is 90km/h).
The line has 20 stations.
