The Hanoi Department of Construction recently issued a traffic diversion plan to ensure safety for the construction of projects to renovate, upgrade, and build new drainage infrastructure. These projects target the Resco, Ecohome, Tay Ho Tay, Diplomatic Corps, and Ciputra urban areas, as well as the Vo Chi Cong, Long Bien, Dong Anh, and Gia Lam areas.

On Xuan Tao Road, from the DT4 intersection to Hoang Quoc Viet Road, the construction unit will install a rolling barrier, 20 m long and 3 m wide, for underground culvert installation. The remaining road width will be an average of 12 m. Specifically, the section leading to Nguyen Van Huyen overpass will be 9 m for traffic. This work will be carried out from 16/2 to 31/3.

On the right service road of Thang Long Avenue, from Km9+750 to Km10+000 in the direction of Hoa Lac, a mobile rolling barrier, 20 m long and 4 m wide, will be set up, leaving 7 m of road width. Construction will take place from 22h to 5h the following day, from 16/2 to 31/3.

On Lai Yen Road in the Bac An Khanh urban area, half of the road will be barricaded to connect culverts to a temporary pump station. The lane from Thang Long Avenue into An Khanh urban area will have 5 m for vehicles to pass.

Previously, from 14/2 to 31/5, the city implemented traffic diversions at the Hang Da market area to construct an underground regulating tank and renovate the drainage pipe along Phung Hung Street. Cars will travel one-way on Duong Thanh Street, from the Duong Thanh - Hang Dieu - Nguyen Van To T-junction to the Duong Thanh - Phu Doan - Hang Bong intersection. Some turns are prohibited in the Hong Ha cinema area.

At the end of 2025, the city launched 10 urgent anti-flooding projects with a total investment of nearly 5.600 billion VND, requiring major items to be largely completed before the 2026 rainy season.
