Barriers have been set up at the La Thanh – Nguyen Chi Thanh intersection for the construction of the Van Cao – Hoa Lac metro station S3.
Hanoi adjusts the traffic organization plan at the La Thanh – Nguyen Chi Thanh intersection from traffic lights to a self-regulating intersection to serve the barrier setup for the construction of the Van Cao – Hoa Lac metro project.
The Hanoi Department of Construction has just announced adjustments to the traffic organization within the La Thanh – Nguyen Chi Thanh intersection to serve the construction of metro line 5, Van Cao – Hoa Lac.
Accordingly, the city will set up barriers in the middle area of the intersection to facilitate the construction of station S3 – the Ring Road 1 station belonging to the Van Cao – Hoa Lac metro line 5 project.
To ensure smooth traffic flow through the intersection, the Hanoi Department of Construction changed the traffic organization plan at the La Thanh – Nguyen Chi Thanh intersection from traffic lights to a self-regulating intersection.
Specifically, vehicles will move through the intersection in all directions using temporary roads, painted lane markings, 2 traffic guidance signs, and U-turn points at openings in the median strips on La Thanh and Nguyen Chi Thanh streets.
This implementation begins on May 30 until a further decision is made.
Hanoi will conduct trial barriers and trial operations for 3 days to monitor and promptly adjust to ensure traffic safety and order after the traffic diversion notice for the project construction is issued.
The Van Cao – Hoa Lac metro is designed as a double-track standard gauge line of 1,435mm, nearly 39km long.
The project has a total investment of 72,300 billion VND, a total length of about 39.58km, invested as a double-track line with a 1,435mm gauge, modern electrification, including 20 stations (6 underground stations, 13 ground-level stations, 1 elevated station).
The line starts at the intersection of Van Cao and Hoang Hoa Tham streets, runs underground beneath Van Cao, Lieu Giai, Nguyen Chi Thanh, and Tran Duy Hung streets. After passing the National Convention Center, the line transitions to ground level along the median strip of Thang Long Boulevard and the Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Expressway to the end of the line.
The project ends at station S20 (in Hoa Lac and Yen Xuan communes).
The Hanoi Metro Rail Management Board (MRB) stated that after more than one year of construction, TBM tunnel boring machine number 2, named “Daring,” safely reached its destination at underground station S12, officially completing the entire tunneling process of over 4km for the underground section of the Nhon – Hanoi station metro project.
