The Tran Hung Dao Bridge project has two locations. The Tu Lien Bridge project affects Au Co Street from No. 17 to the Au Co–Nghi Tam intersection and Truong Sa Street near Ngu Huyen Khe Bridge. Barriers at Tu Lien sites are scheduled until April 30, 2027.
Construction on the route linking the Phap Van–Cau Gie expressway with Ring Road No. 3 affects Do Muoi Street and an elevated-road section. Urban railway works affect Kim Ma, Cat Linh, Tran Hung Dao and Van Cao streets and Thang Long Boulevard. The Nhon–Hanoi Station project has sites near Lieu Giai, Nui Truc–Kim Ma, Giang Vo and Tran Hung Dao.
The No. 5 urban railway project affects Van Cao Street and Thang Long Boulevard, including the section between km3+009 and km3+704. Barriers are also part of the Hoang Cau–Voi Phuc section of Ring Road No. 1, the No. 3.5 interchange project and the Yen Xa wastewater treatment project.
Near Thang Long Bridge, two lanes toward Dong Anh are planned to be fenced for about 150 metres while truck-load monitoring equipment is installed. Two-way traffic will use the remaining three lanes.
Traffic police advice
Police advise people to check traffic arrangements, consider alternative routes, change departure times and allow extra travel time. Drivers should slow down, keep a safe distance, obey signs, lights, road markings and officers' instructions, and must not enter fenced areas, drive against traffic or change direction abruptly.
