Earlier, Hoang Minh Giam-Nguyen Chanh flyover, the capital city’s eighth steel flyover, was opened to traffic after five years of construction. The flyover spans a length of 595.7 metres with two nine-metre lanes, allowing vehicles to run at speeds of up to 40km per hour.
The project was under the supervision of Thang Long Corporation. With a total investment of 148 billion VND (6.6 million USD), it used the remaining capital of Ring Road No.3’s second period with the support of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It is expected to ease traffic congestion at the Trung Hoa intersection of Cau Giay District.
