Contractors are expediting the Belt Road 1 project, Hoang Cau - Voi Phuc section, which spans over 2,2 km and is 50 m wide, following more than 8 months of implementation.

By 29/8, many sections featured new paving, lane markings, and divisions. Workers are finalizing trees and lighting systems for the technical opening on National Day, 2/9.

With its wide cross-section, the road features 8 lanes, creating more traffic space and enhancing connectivity between areas along the Belt Road 1 axis.

On the Voi Phuc - Nguyen Chi Thanh section, workers are urgently completing the final sidewalk sections.

This section has been paved, marked with lane divisions, planted with trees, and fitted with lighting. At 12h, workers were still finalizing road markings and signs at the Hoang Cau intersection to ensure progress.

The 8-lane road section in front of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital has largely completed its sidewalks, trees, lighting, signs, and road markings, giving the street a new, spacious appearance.

Walking on the newly paved sidewalk along Belt Road 1, Ms. Co Thi Oanh (left), from Group 3, Kim Ma Ward, expressed delight as the road becomes increasingly spacious and clean.

“Walking here in the afternoon is very pleasant. Once the project is complete, travel will be much more convenient”, Ms. Oanh said.

Before opening, the lighting systems, signs, road markings, lane divisions, and other traffic safety components will be inspected and evaluated according to technical requirements.

The Hanoi People's Committee directed that sections fully meeting technical requirements could open to traffic and operate early, aiming to reduce congestion and maximize the project's effectiveness. The Voi Phuc - Nguyen Chi Thanh section has largely completed both directions, including paving, road markings, tree planting, and lighting installation.

The Nguyen Chi Thanh - Lang Ha section currently has only partially completed the road surface in the Lang Ha direction. Contractors are continuing to expedite work on the remaining items.

In addition to the road sections, workers are fast-tracking two overpasses at the Lang Ha and Nguyen Chi Thanh intersections, with completion expected in 2026. The Nguyen Chi Thanh overpass is more complex due to the need for synchronized planning with the underground urban railway line.
