Total investment capital increasing to over VND16.2 trillion ($619 million).

The People’s Council of Hanoi on November 13 approved the
adjustment of the investment policy of the Tran Hung Dao Bridge project.

Under the adjusted plan, total investment capital for the
project will increase to over VND16.2 trillion ($619 million) from the initial
plan of VND15.96 trillion.

The bridge project spans 4.18 km with a width of 40
m. The bridge will begin at the intersection of Tran Hung Dao, Tran Thanh
Tong and Le Thanh Tong streets in Cua Nam and Hai Ba Trung wards and end at Nguyen Son
Street in Long Bien and Bo De wards.

The main span crossing the Red River will stretch 870 m with six spans and a total width of 43 m, featuring six lanes for motor
vehicles, two bicycle lanes, and two pedestrian lanes. Approach roads on both
sides will extend 1.4 km, ranging from 25.5 to 30 m in width.

Scheduled for completion in 2027, the bridge is expected to
significantly reduce traffic pressure in the city center and improve access to
the eastern areas of Hanoi.
