On February 4, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, Chairman of Hanoi People`s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung and representatives of concerned ministries and agencies checked the progress of urban railway projects of Cat Linh - Ha Dong and Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung urged relevant sides to speed up urban railway projects during the field trip to project sites. Hanoi has been implementing two urban railway projects with the hope of easing the traffic congestion which has been increasingly serious.
In other project, an urban rail line running from Nhon, Tu Liem district, to Ha Noi railway station, is being constructed. The line has a total length of 12.5 kilometres, in which 8.5 kilometres are elevated and 4 kilometres are underground. It has 12 stations, including eight elevated and four underground. The construction of the line has been behind schedule due to problems in land clearance and tree displacing. The construction of the underground section is planned to begin in the first quarter.
On the occasion of the new year, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung presented gifts to encourage all officers, employees, contractors of the 2 urban railway projects with best wishes. The Deputy PM appreciated efforts of contractors but asked them to ensure the schedule and quality of the project.
