Making remarks at the event, Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung stressed that the overpass will be significant to curbing traffic congestion in Ba Dinh and Tay Ho districts and facilitate travel between Ba Dinh, the country’s political center, and Noi Bai International Airport.
Besides, the flyover helps achieve the strong reinforcement of dykes to ensure the safety of flood prevention and create urban landscape in the region, contributing to perfecting the infrastructure system in the city, Chung added.

Moreover, it is necessary to strengthen the management of urban order at the intersection and make street improvements to ensure the city’s beauty, Chung said.
After this project, Hanoi will consider implementing another project connecting Thang Loi hotel with the Nhat Tan bridge, Chung noted.
He revealed that the city’s authority will ask the government for a special mechanism to speed up the project.
The construction of An Duong – Thanh Nien flyover was completed after ten months, coinciding with the celebration of the capital’s 64th liberation day (October 10, 1954 – 2018). It was built with total investment of nearly VND311,98 billion (US$13.42 million). The flyover is 271 meters in length and 10 meters in width. The project includes modifications to the structure of a section of the Huu Hong dyke (from Thang Loi hotel to An Duong border).
