Hanoi is set to significantly enhance its infrastructure with the planned completion and operationalization of the Tứ Liên and Trần Hưng Đạo bridges by the second quarter of 2027. This directive comes from Hanoi Chairman Vu Dai Thang, who conducted a site inspection to assess the progress of these critical projects.

Chairman Thang emphasized that these bridges are more than just transportation links; they are vital components in addressing the capital's infrastructural challenges. Their completion is expected to unlock new development opportunities and provide a significant impetus for growth in the areas along the Red River.

During his inspection on April 14, Thang commended the efforts of local authorities, investors, and contractors for overcoming difficulties and adhering to the project timelines. He urged for even closer coordination among all stakeholders to ensure that each task is addressed decisively and without bottlenecks. Local authorities are tasked with accelerating land clearance, handing over completed areas to contractors promptly.

Tứ Liên and Trần Hưng Đạo bridges are not just individual traffic works, but also contribute to solving major infrastructure bottlenecks of the capital, opening up new development spaces, and creating a driving force for the entire area on both sides of the Red River.

For investors and contractors, the directive is to meticulously review timelines and specific work items to stay on track with the overall schedule, ensuring substantive progress rather than mere superficial completion. Environmental protection during construction is also a priority, with strict adherence to principles of cleanliness and controlled waste management to minimize negative impacts on the living environment.

Progress on land clearance for both projects has reached an impressive 95%, with the Hồng Hà ward aiming to complete all necessary handovers by May 15. While residents have raised some concerns and suggestions regarding support policies, the ward is actively compiling these for consideration by the City People's Committee to ensure fair treatment. The commitment to completing these bridges by Q2 2027 underscores Hanoi's ambition for development and improved connectivity.

The land clearance work for the two projects has reached over 95%. In particular, the ward aims to complete the entire handover of the site before May 15.
